A Detailed Project Report (DPR) is under preparation for the redevelopment of the Kumbakonam railway station, which falls under the limits of the Tiruchi Railway Division.
The Southern Railway Construction Organisation and the technical consultancy firm engaged for the redevelopment project are jointly preparing the DPR for Kumbakonam, which is one of the major stations in the Tiruchi Railway Division, in terms of passenger earnings.
Railway sources said the approximate cost for the redevelopment project would be around ₹200 crore. The Southern Railway Construction Organisation, which has been entrusted with the task of executing the redevelopment project, has planned a host of projects aimed at completely revamping the station and creating new facilities for the benefit of the travelling public.
