The Old Delhi Railway Station, a significant historical hub established in 1864, is preparing for a heritage restoration as it approaches its 125th anniversary. Northern Railways is coordinating efforts to preserve the station's Mughal-inspired architecture, characterized by its red sandstone façade and fort-like towers. The restoration will focus on maintaining structural integrity while upgrading passenger amenities and streamlining access. The station, which has grown from just two platforms serving around 100 passengers daily to 16 platforms accommodating over 200,000 passengers now, remains a vital connection to northern and northeastern states. As part of this initiative, officials emphasize the importance of balancing conservation with modernization, ensuring that the station's historical significance is not overshadowed by contemporary developments.
