Colonial era structures will be retained and integrated with the new infrastructure as the South Western Railway (SWR) redevelops the Cantonment Railway Station. The SWR is investing ₹442 crore on the project and has already floated the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) tender to implement the project.

The proposed redeveloped station will have salient features such as centralised air-conditioning, multi-level car parking, sewerage treatment plant, rain water harvesting and solar energy. The SWR will also integrate the station with the proposed suburban rail network.
