By GlobalDataTo help passengers use MAHSR more efficiently, the project will focus on the urban development of high-speed rail stations to improve access to the stations as well as other modes of transport and commercial areas.
The project will help create development plans for the four stations designated as model stations.
These stations include Thane, Virar, Surat, and Sabarmati.
Furthermore, it will work to optimise India’s future ability to devise such plans by preparing a Station Area Development handbook.
