Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Itwari Station is one of five railway stations under South East Central Railway (SECR), Nagpur, that will be virtually inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 22.
Under the government’s Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, which aims to redevelop railway stations across the country, a total of 103 stations will be inaugurated on May 22. Among them are five stations from the South East Central Railway (SECR) – Seoni, Dongargarh, Itwari, Chanda Fort, and Amgaon. One of the highlights is Nagpur’s Itwari Station, now renamed Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Itwari Junction. It has been redeveloped at a cost of ₹12.39 crore and now offers modern facilities while also reflecting cultural pride.
The station, which earlier faced traffic jams and parking problems, has now been improved. It has wider roads, better traffic control, and separate parking for two-wheelers. These changes have made it easier for passengers to enter and move around the station.
For the convenience of passengers, the station now has modern ticket counters, comfortable waiting lounges, special facilities for differently-abled people, a Jan Aushadhi Kendra, and a unique rail coach restaurant. The station’s design beautifully combines traditional and modern styles, giving it a special look and feel.
Speaking about the transformation, Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Deepak Kumar Gupta said, “The station stands as a shining example of how cultural preservation and cutting-edge development can go hand-in-hand. The project showcases the dedicated efforts of local communities, architects, engineers, and artists who have contributed to its realization.”
One of the highlights is a newly built toilet complex inspired by Bhubaneswar’s architecture, showcasing a perfect blend of cleanliness and excellent design. With many modern facilities now in place, passengers can look forward to a truly world-class travel experience.
