Stations and Railway Redevelopment

The redevelopment of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) station represents a pivotal shift in India’s infrastructure landscape. SYSTRA India is delivering end-to-end Project Management Consultancy services for this massive brownfield project. The project integrates modern amenities and retail spaces within a Victorian Gothic architectural framework.

Our team manages complex interfaces, quality, and safety protocols. We are upgrading India’s largest railway station without disrupting daily services. Moreover, by bridging the gap between heritage preservation and high-capacity multi-modal connectivity, SYSTRA India is redefining the passenger experience. This effort takes place at one of the world’s most famous transit landmarks.

Key features of the project

  • Brownfield Project: Redevelopment of the historic station while maintaining full daily operations. This poses significant logistical and safety challenges in a live environment.
  • Suburban & Long-Distance Nodes with Connecting Skywalk: Dedicated nodes for suburban and long-distance rail services. These are linked by an elevated skywalk for seamless passenger movement.
  • Conservation, Restoration and Enhancement of Heritage Structures: Meticulous preservation and restoration of all UNESCO-listed neo-Gothic elements. This includes the iconic façade, domes, turrets and interiors, ensuring cultural integrity.
  • Passenger-Related Retail Building Structures: Construction of modern retail and shopping arcade spaces. This also includes food & beverage outlets, and commercial facilities to enhance passenger experience.
  • Construction of Auditoriums: State-of-the-art auditoriums for public events, cultural programmes and passenger amenities.
  • Modification in New Administrative Building (NAB): Upgradation and modification of the existing New Administrative Building. This is to meet contemporary operational needs.
