The transformation of Rani Marwar Railway Station, an important rail hub known for its cultural and historical prominence in Rajasthan, has entered its concluding stage. Under the Central Government's ambitious Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, comprehensive redevelopment work costing millions of rupees is progressing rapidly. According to official disclosures from the North Western Railway administration, over 80 percent of the overall planned construction work has already been completed. Once the entire project is delivered, passengers will benefit from a modernized station building, upgraded platforms, and a range of state-of-the-art civic and technological amenities.
DRM Inspects Site and Mandates Strict Quality Compliance
To inspect the ground-level execution of various construction components, Ajmer Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Raju Bhootra recently visited Rani Railway Station. During his detailed walkthrough, he inspected the main station structure, platform spaces, and passenger utility zones. Interacting with senior railway engineers, officials, and site contractors, he reviewed the project's physical and financial progress. DRM Bhootra explicitly instructed the team to complete all remaining civil and finishing tasks within the designated deadlines. He further emphasized that construction quality standards must be strictly upheld while prioritizing passenger safety and convenience at every stage.
Maharana Pratap Statue and Artworks to Showcase Rajasthani Culture
Providing structural updates on the development drive, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager (Sr. DCM) Mihir Dev highlighted that construction of the station's main building and front porch has been fully wrapped up. While the new edifice boasts a contemporary design, its interior concourse and waiting hall walls are being adorned with captivating paintings inspired by local art and the glorious history of Mewar and Marwar. Furthermore, to instill regional pride among visitors, a grand statue of Mewar hero Maharana Pratap has been installed at the station's primary entry gate. This monument will offer arriving travelers and tourists an immediate connection to Rajasthan's heroic legacy.
Kota Stone Flooring and Over 15,000 Sq M Circulating Area Completed
Substantial physical upgrades have been introduced to streamline passenger movement and enhance spatial aesthetics. Premium Kota stone flooring has been successfully laid across approximately 15,000 square meters on Platform 1 and Platform 2, ensuring improved durability and cleanliness. Additionally, a massive circulating area measuring 15,492 square meters has been developed near the station's first and second entry gates. To facilitate orderly traffic flow and vehicle parking, a dedicated 2,000 square meter parking lot has been constructed. To shield commuters from adverse weather conditions such as sun and rain, protective passenger shelter structures spanning 687 square meters have also been fully erected.
Current Progress of Technical Systems and Passenger Safety Amenities
The modernization scheme incorporates several vital technological and passenger-centric upgrades that are nearing completion. Complete electrical wiring of the station building, high-capacity illumination across platforms and circulating zones, the Public Announcement (PA) system, and the Coach Position Display system have achieved 100 percent completion. Installation of LED glow signboards has reached 90 percent, while handrails designed for Divyangjan (specially-abled passengers) stand at 80 percent completion. Facade lighting to enhance the building's exterior aesthetic is 70 percent finished. Construction of two elevators aimed at assisting elderly and mobility-impaired passengers is 50 percent complete. Work on the waiting hall, foot overbridge (FOB), and modern toilet blocks is also progressing at a fast pace.
