The Tambaram railway station in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, has been plagued by inadequate facilities, particularly on platforms 9 and 10, leading to significant commuter challenges during peak hours. Passengers often encounter heavy crowds and must rely on staircases due to the absence of escalators, creating potentially dangerous situations. In response to these ongoing issues, the Indian Railways has initiated two tenders totaling over ₹15 crore (approximately $1.8 million USD) aimed at upgrading the station's infrastructure. The planned enhancements include the installation of escalators and lifts, redevelopment of circulating areas, and construction of new waiting halls. The project is expected to be completed within 12 months. Additionally, a separate tender worth ₹2.5 crore will implement an integrated passenger information system featuring digital train display boards and multilingual announcements. These upgrades are designed to improve the overall experience for commuters and alleviate congestion at this vital transit point.
