The objective of this initiative is to provide best-in-class amenities to passengers and boost their travel experience

Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Ltd. (IRSDC) on Friday said it has invited bids for setting up and maintaining a "Rail Arcade" at the Bengaluru's Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna Railway Station and Chandigarh Railway Station for a period of nine years. The objective of this initiative is to provide best-in-class amenities to passengers and boost their travel experience, it said.

"It's a part of IRSDC's overall mandate to undertake the Facility Management of five railway stations across India- KSR Bengaluru, Pune, Anand Vihar, Chandigarh, and Secunderabad," IRSDC has said in a release. Demand-oriented design, excellent quality, etc, will be the hallmarks of this initiative, it added.

Benefits
Rail Arcade will fuel commercial activities: IRSDC MD and CEO

"It'll enable passengers to utilize their mundane waiting time and turn it into leisure hours, and they'll look forward to visiting these stations," IRSDC MD and CEO SK Lohia said. "As an integrated facility, Rail Arcade will fuel commercial activities and will be a formidable step in transforming railway stations into RAILOPOLIS, an integrated mini smart city to work, play, and ride," he added.

Facilities

Some of the proposed facilities at Rail Arcade include Food & Beverage (F&B), Passenger Convenience store, Gifts, Books & Magazine, Handloom & Artefacts, Consumer goods kiosks, including FMCG and pharmaceutical.
