The initiative was taken to improve railway infrastructure in India which kicked-off with the two stations. The construction has been undertaken under the public-private partnership (PPP) model based on Germany’s Heidelberg railway station.
Facilities
Along with new-age infrastructure, the railway stations are set to offer waiting lounges, gaming zones, museums, and other luxurious facilities. Gandhinagar's railway premises will be embellished with a 5-star hotel.

The brand new avatars have invited a heavy cost of INR 100 crores which have been spent on developing the Habibganj facility. In addition to this, INR 350 crores were spent for commercial development of the surrounding area. Gandhinagar’s total revamp cost is a whopping INR 250 crore!
With the amount of labour, wealth and time the railway stations have taken, it's sure to offer no less than an opulent experience.
