First private railway station of India: Know all about Habibganj station…




Bhopal's Habibganj station has become the first railway station of the country to be build in a Public-Private partnership. Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu is scheduled to launch the station redevelopment work on June 9.

The idea behind redeveloping Habibganj is to make the station at par with a world class transit hub equipped with all the amenities.

Important features of the project:


Bhopal-based Bansal Group has been given the responsibility of operations and maintenance for a period of eight years.

The group will invest Rs 100 crore to overhaul the station, and around Rs350 crore to develop four commercial land parcels adding up to 17,245 square meters.

As per the plan, the station will be designed as a world-class transit hub with shopping complex, adequate parking lot, eateries, forex kiosk and other facilities for passengers at railway premises; arriving and departing passengers will be segregated.

The environment-friendly station will be powered by solar energy and will also be differently-abled friendly

The station will have lifts, escalators and travelators for arriving passengers

The station will also have parking space that will give space to cars, two-wheelers, rickshaws, taxis and buses


It will be designed in such a manner that in case of an emergency, the premises can be evacuated in four minutes and passengers can reach designated points of safety within six minutes
