New Delhi: Passengers at the New Delhi railway station would be able to access wi-fi internet within its premises as the public transporter is kicking off a scheme for providing more connectivity at stations.
Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu will launch the wi-fi facility at the busiest station in the country with the project being implemented by RailTel, a railway PSU which is mandated to provide the service at major stations across the country.
Passengers on all 16 platforms at New Delhi railway station will be able to access the wi-fi internet.
The wi-fi facility shall be available free of cost for an initial period of 30 minutes and would require the people at the station to register for the same through their mobile phones.
"These cards are priced at Rs 25 for 30 minutes and Rs 35 for one hour and are valid through 24 hours," said the official.
The facility is to be launched on a trial basis at Agra, Ahmedabad and Varanasi by the end of December and at Howrah, Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and Secunderabad by January next year.
