PM Modi Inaugurates Rs 26 Crore Redeveloped Hitec City Railway Station

Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the redeveloped Hitec City Railway Station in Hyderabad on Friday under the Amrit Bharat Station scheme. The station underwent a Rs 26 crore transformation to introduce modern passenger amenities, aiming to deliver a smarter, safer, and world-class travel experience for commuters in the city's prominent IT corridor.

Speaking to media representatives, South Central Railway (SCR) officials stated that the transformed station is a reflection of a future-ready India where infrastructure evolves alongside innovation. They noted that the project strengthens Hyderabad's position as a global technology destination while providing an elevated rail travel experience.

According to the SCR officials, the Hitec City Railway Station has been upgraded with a variety of new passenger amenities. These include a 12-metre foot-over-bridge, additional lifts, escalators, passenger-friendly signage, an improved station façade, and a new portico.

The station has been reimagined with expansive passenger spaces, airport-like aesthetics, contemporary architecture, and intelligent commuter-focused planning. These design elements were selected to complement the aspirations of Hyderabad's globally recognised IT corridor.

The Hitec City Railway Station is the second redeveloped station in Hyderabad to be completed under the Amrit Bharat Station scheme, following the Begumpet Station. Across the state of Telangana, it is the fourth redeveloped station overall, with Warangal and Karimnagar stations also having undergone similar upgrades. All four of these stations were inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi.

In response to public demands for increasing the Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTS) services at the station, SCR officials remained non-committal. The officials explained that the current train schedule was finalised after carefully taking into consideration the peak office commute times of employees working in the area.
