Railway Station Privatised

The Habibganj and Gandhinagar stations will be the country's first stations to be redeveloped into world-class transit hubs with airport-like facilities

After deciding to privatise 151 passenger trains, the Centre is planning to auction railway stations to private players after modernising the facilities, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said on Monday.

The government is in the process of forming a task force to draw a blueprint for handing over operations of 150 trains and 50 railway stations to private operators in a "time-bound manner".
