Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for redevelopment of 508 railway stations across the country on Sunday through video conferencing.

The stations will be redeveloped under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme at a cost of over 24,470 crore rupees. Master Plans are being prepared for development of these stations as City Centres, with proper integration of both sides of the city. This integrated approach is driven by the holistic vision of overall urban development of the city, centred around the railway station.
 
These 508 stations are spread across 27 states and union territories. This includes 55 station each in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, 49 in Bihar, 44 in Maharashtra, 37 in West Bengal, 34 in Madhya Pradesh, 32 in Assam and 25 in Odisha among others. The redevelopment will provide modern passenger amenities along with ensuring well designed traffic circulation, inter-modal integration and well designed signage for guidance of passengers. The design of the station buildings will be inspired by local culture, heritage and architecture.
