Multi Modal HUB 

Main objective of this project is to achieve following
  • The State Government and the East Coast Railway will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop Bhubaneswar Railway Station Multi-modal Hub (RSMH) Project.
  • The State Government has designated Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) as nodal agency for planning, designing and executing this project. Accordingly, BDA has already appointed Surbana Jurong, a Singapore-based international design consultant of repute for the project.
  • The proposed Project will include a state-of-the-art railway station, city bus terminal, multi-level car parking and will have dedicated pick up and drop off lanes for taxi, auto-rickshaws and other vehicles.
  • The design concept is to be a blend of contemporary designs and traditional Kalingan style of architecture.
  • New Railway Station Area would be of about 1.74 lakh square feet. This will be built by the State Government from its own resources. The design would incorporate all modern passenger amenities in consultation with East Coast Railway for giving a complete new experience to the passengers.
  • At its core, project will have an iconic city square and with a centrally located high rise tower providing mixed use development with uses such as commercial, retail, hotel, service apartments. It will contain innovative elements like theatre plaza, art plaza and children’s plaza along with food courts. This project is expected to further enhance identity of Bhubaneswar.
  • All the facilities would be developed in an integrated manner as one public utility space with pedestrianized environment, cycling tracks. This project along with other projects like Smart Janpath will help in promoting non-motorised transport (NMT) for a green and sustainable Bhubaneswar.
  • This would be first transit-oriented smart development project and would be a trigger for development of planned central business district for Bhubaneswar.
  • A three-tier monitoring mechanism would be notified by the State Government, for close supervision and monitoring of the project.
