The new station building will be coming up on the eastern side as part of the MMTS extension while the existing station on the western side is also being taken up for upgradation under the ‘Amrit Bharath’ station scheme.
SCR General Manager Arun Kumar Jain informed on Thursday after conducting an inspection with his senior officials that tenders for the existing station redevelopment has been awarded and works to be taken up include construction of cover over platforms, facade development and building improvements among others.
