Soon your nearest railway station may bear the stamp of India’s top architects as the government is set to come up with an empanelled group to design 600-odd stations announced in the Budget.
 
Top architecture firms belonging to Hafeez Contractor and C P Kukreja have offered to design a few stations free of cost.
 
The railways will approach the Cabinet in a month with a station redevelopment policy to give more financial independence to Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation (IRSDC). It will have the powers to raise money from the markets for station development.
