India's first redeveloped station, with facilities like a luxury hotel, theme-based lighting and an interfaith prayer hall, will be open for the country on July 16.
The revamped Gandhinagar Capital railway station in Gujarat will have enhanced amenities, aesthetic station building, and a modern look, according to western railways.
"The station has been developed at par with airports for enhanced public satisfaction," Railway Board Chairman Suneet Sharma said.
The station will also have a luxury hotel on its top, making it the first-of-its-kind in the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually inaugurate the station on Friday and will also flag off two trains.
