The Madurai train station of Southern Railway is getting a makeover. The zonal railway has decided to alter nine stations as part of station refurbishment. The railway station in Madurai will be a top-notch station once it has been renovated.
Each day, 96 trains pass through the railhead of the NSG-2 category. A total of 51,296 passengers were counted on average. Madurai, also known as “Temple Town,” is a popular tourist destination in India and overseas thanks to the Goddess Meenakshi Amman Temple.
At a price of Rs 347.47 crores, the contract was given to M/s P &C Projects Private Limited, a company based in Chennai.
A 36-month timeline has been set forth for finishing the project’s refurbishment. Mumbai-based M/s TUV India Private Limited has been given the task of providing Project Management Services (PMS).
In order to provide travellers with easy access to amenities, the reconstructed Madurai railway station will have multi-story East and West terminals.
In order to accommodate the top-notch station facilities, the West terminal building will be renovated. A departure and arrival forecourt, ticket booths, and railroad offices will all be housed in this structure.
Three multi-level parking buildings are planned as part of the rehabilitation project to meet the anticipated increase in parking demand.
The vernacular architectural style of the area will be represented on the station building’s entry façade.
