Compendium of Instructions

for
Station Development
Projects

Dec, 2022
 INTRODUCTION

Indian Railway has launched a massive station redevelopment

programme. The programme envisages creation of state-of-the-art
modern iconic stations integrating both sides of the city with
spacious roof plazas where amenities like food court, waiting
lounge space area etc will be provided. The redeveloped stations
will also include multimodal integration, energy efficient green
buildings, facilities for ‘Divyangjans’ amongst others.

A number of instructions for various issues related to station

development have been issued in recent past and a need has been
felt to provide the most frequently used ones at one place for easy
reference. Keywords have also been given in the index for easy
search ability but this must be used with caution and the intent and
extent of the original letter must be examined before drawing a
conclusion. The compendium is an ongoing exercise and feedback
of the Zonal Railways for further improvement in content,
references and user experience is most welcome.

Disclaimer: The compendium does not include all instructions on

the subject. Due diligence is expected from the user based on the
issue in context

4. Scope of Work:

To meet the above objectives, following broad scope of work is envisaged for
stations selected under the Amrit Bharat Station scheme in order to achieve the instructions
issued vide letter no. 2021/Stn. Dev.- I/08/18 dated 04.05.2022 and 03.10.2022:

4.1 All improvement plans shall be made with help of architects/traffic planners
and/or user experience consultants as decided by DRMs. The Master Plans should
have elementary details of the most appropriate location of Roof Plaza to be
created in future.
4.2 The scheme envisages cost efficient improvement to facades, provision of wide,
well lit aesthetically pleasing entrance porches.
4.3 Existing building usage shall be reviewed and space should be released in favour
of passengers near the station entrances and the Railway offices should be
suitably relocated.
4.4 The scheme aims to" relocate redundant/old buildings in a cost efficient manner so
that space is released for higher priority passenger related activities and future
development may be carried out smoothly. Creation of new buildings should
generally be avoided other than those required for relocation of old structures or
relocation of structures to improve circulation or provision of structures to
improve the size of waiting halls. Decision in this regard shall be taken by DRM
considering all relevant factors.
4.5 Attempts shall be made to club different grades/types of waiting halls and provide
good cafeteria/retail facilities as far as possible. Suitable low level partitions may
be done in waiting halls if required.
4.6 Provision for minimum two stalls for One Station One Product shall be made.
4.7 Space shall also be created for Executive Lounges and places for small business
meetings.
4.8 At least one aesthetically designed hoarding(signage) on each side of the
circulating area at a prominent location shall be erected for display of important
information etc. The size of such hoarding shall not be less than 10mx20m.
4.9 Station approaches should be improved to ensure smooth access by widening of
roads, removal of unwanted structures, properly designed signages, dedicated
pedestrian pathways, well planned parking areas, improved lighting etc.
Necessary liaison should be established with local authorities for necessary
improvements to be carried out by local authorities in their areas.
4.10 Elements of landscaping, green patches and local art and culture should be used
to create a pleasant experience for the station users. This should be done with the
help of,suitable professionals.
4.11 Second Entry Station Building and circulating area shall be improved as per the
needs of the station. Wherever second entry building is n9t being provided
presently, space for circulating area will be well planned and a liaison shall be
established with the local bodies so that approach roads for second entry are kept
in the city's Master Plan and development around the station is suitably controlled.
4.12 High level platforms(760-840 mm) shall be provided at all categories of stations.
Length of the platforms shall generally be 600m.
4.13 Length, location and phasing of Platform shelters shall be decided by DRM based
on usage of the station. Generally,16m long bays at not more than 100 m centre
to centre distance may be taken as a reference.
4.14 Ballastless tracks(BLT) should be provided on platform lines and lines with train
maintenance facilities. Proposals and execution of works should be planned in

Page 2 of 260
 suitable phases. Due care should be taken that provision of BLT on platform lines
which are also mainlines should not lead to reduction of speed potential or cause
imposition of any speed restriction in future.
4.15 Drainage of platform areas is of utmost importance. Special emphasis shall be
given to achieve self cleansing of drains as far as possible. Suitable cross drains,
sump and pump arrangement may be provided where natural slopes are not
adequate. Drains may be covered with aesthetically designed theft resistant
covers.
4.16 Cables should be laid in aesthetically designed duct or cable trays and should have
provision for future cables as well.
4.17 The Master Plan shall mark the space for Parcel handling spurs, storage and
handling facilities etc. Works should also be proposed and executed in suitable
phases.
4.18 Provisions may be made such that the station provides free WiFi access to its
users following all guidelines issued by DoT. The Master Plan should have suitable
spaces earmarked for SG tower/pole mounts.
4.19 Material finishes of elements, such as flooring, walls, structures, furniture,
sanitary fittings, etc. within the public areas of the station where surfaces either
come in direct physical contact of passengers or are visible to them should be
highly durable (preferably washable), generally dustproof and need low
maintenance.
4.20 The furniture available on Waiting halls, Platforms, Retiring Rooms, Offices shall
be reviewed and intervention planned for more comfortable and durable furniture
suitable to the Railway Stations of that area. In a phased manner, it shall be
planned to eliminate multi-design furniture. Released furniture etc. may be
suitably utilized on other stations/locations if deemed fit.
4.21 All signages/display boards including train indication boards and coach guidance
systems/boards should be positioned for intuitive way finding, should have good
visibility and be aesthetically pleasing. Public announcement system should be
designed with the help of suitable professionals to ensure quality.
4.22 Escalators may be provided at NSG/1-4 and SG/1-2 category stations irrespective
of footfall. Mode of procurement(works/stores) may be decided by DRMs. Planning
for approval of GADs should be done well in advance to speed up the work of
installation of escalator/lift and optimize the overall time schedule of
commissioning.
4.23 Amenities for Divyangjan at stations shall be as per guidelines issued by Railway
Board from time to time.
4.24 Ceremonial flags may be provided at appropriate space in the station.
4.25 At least two station name boards should be LED based with good visibility for the

The General Manager,

All Zonal Railways

Sub: Project Management Services tenders for station development works- ensuring
availability of key personnel reg.

Ref.: 1. Railway Board's letter no. 2022/CE-I/CT/3/PMS dated 05.05.2022

2. Southern Railway's letter no. CAO/CN/MS/PMS/2022 dated 29.10.2022

Zonal Railways and Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) have invited a number of
tenders for selection of Authority Engineer for providing Project Management Services (PMS)
for station development projects during last four months. It has come to notice that in some
cases the bidders have offered the same team for different station PMS tenders. Having same
full time key personnel for different projects constitutes conflict with requirement of
availability of the key personnel as per the model document for PMS services issued vide ref. 1
above. It is essential that availability of key personnel is examined in more details during
evaluation of tenders.

2.0 For stations where PMS tenders have not been awarded so far, each responsive and
eligible bidder may be asked to certify that no such PMS tender for Indian Railway projects has
been awarded to him which could cause a conflict regarding availability of key personnels for
the tender under consideration. It should be further certified by him that if any such conflict
comes to the notice of the bidder it shall immediately be brought to the notice of the tender
inviting authority. The tender inviting authority should take suitable action in terms of tender
conditions for such conflict coming to its notice. Any incorrect/false declarations should be
dealt as per terms of the tender documents.

3.0 The contract handling authorities should be cautious of availability of personnel and in
case of non-availability of the same, swift action in terms of contract conditions for contractor's
default should be taken.

4.0 For stations where bidding has not started yet, the tender documents may be suitably
modified to take care of such issues.

 Authority's requirements and terms of contract, Design Basis Report or Preliminary
Design Report, as defined in the contract clarifying the codes/standards and design
criteria to be adopted, should invariably be prepared and approved by Authority to ensure
good progress of works and avoid later date conflicts.
4. The EPC agreement also envisages the Authority Engineer to advise to the contractor
regarding certain works requiring prior sanction of Commissioner of Railway Safety
(CRS). In view of Railway Board's letter No. 2022/Trans cell/Civil/CRS dated 21.06.2022
and 2022/CE-I/ACS-11/IRWM dated 30.09.2022, the works of subways, FOBs including
roof plaza, ROBs etc shall require sanction of Principal Chief Engineer (PCE).
Accordingly, the approval of relevant authorities shall be obtained as per the laid down
process. For all such works, the relevant design criteria shall also be got approved from
the design office of PCE at an appropriate stage and the General Arrangement Drawings
shall be approved by the SAG officer handling the contract.
5. Other than items requiring specific approval of Authority as per the EPC/PMS contracts,
approval of drawings/designs/documents or test checks of bills is not envisaged by the
Authority in cases where a PMS agency is nominated as Authority Engineer. Wherever a
Railway engineer is nominated as the Authority Engineer, the existing instructions for
drawing/design approval and test checks shall be applicable.
6. Whether the nominated AE is a PMS agency or a railway engineer, the JAG/SG officer
handling the EPC/PMS contracts shall carryout regular inspections of sites and contract
related drawings/designs/documents and submit monthly reports to CE/CPM handling the
contract. Such reports should be comprehensive and inter alia detail the inspections
carried out by them, quality of works at the site, progress of the works against contractual
milestones, compliance of contractual obligations by the EPC/PMS contractors, any other
important item coming to their notice etc. The CE/CPM handling the contracts shall also
carryout his own inspections and submit similar report every two months to his controlling
officer. Zonal Railways may modify the instructions in this para with approval of
PCE/CAO(C).
7. The Zonal Railways are also required to evolve quarterly audit system (departmental
and/or third party) for engineering, procurement and construction related items apart from
compliances ensured above. The audits/inspections shall be within the Authority's right to
inspect/audit the site/works/documents/progress as per the EPC/PMS contracts and
should be so implemented that the execution of EPC/PMS contracts is not adversely

Page 78 of 260
 affected. The audit team should also refer a few randomly selected designs for check by
design office of PCE/CAO(C}/third party.
8. It should be ensured that the communications to the EPC/PMS contractors by Zonal
Railways are routed through the concerned JAG/SG officer or above handling the
contract except cases involving emergencies like safety of trains/passengers etc.
9. This is issued with approval of Board(MI}.

No.2O2 r /W-I/Genl. /Gatt Shakti New Delhi, dated:2J .O7.20/22

The General Managers

All Indian Railways/PUs, NF(Conf, CORE
DG/ RDSO/ Lucknow, DG/ NNR/Vadodara

Sub: Setting up of Gati Shakti Uaits in Divleions.

The Railway Board had approved setting up of Gati Shakti Units

(GSUs) in Khurda Road, Bilaspur, Delhi, Bengahrru and Agra divisions to
fast track the construction works required to remove bottlenecks in
operations and improve mobility that would lead to increased cargo
loading.
This decision was communicated vide Railway Board,s letter
No. 17lW-l/Genl./Board Meetings dated 16.05.2 O22 and. Og.06.2022. tt
was also decided that GSUs will be set up in all other divisions of Indian
Railways in a phased manner.

In view of the above and Hon'ble pM,s vision of Gati Shakti for
creation of infraqtructure in the country, it has been decided to start
GSUs in all the remaining divisions of IR.- The organizational structure of
the GSUs will be as follows.

1.0 Organization of the divisional Gati Shattl Unlts:

1.1 GSU in the division shall be headed by a CpM/Gati Shakti (cS)

under the administrative control of DRM. post of CpM/cS wili
be open to all cadres (except IRPF,S). CPM/GS will be selected
based on his capabilities (knowledge & skills) and experience.
GM will post suitable officers including CPM/GS in the GSUs of
the divisions.

1.2 If divisions are having more than two ADRMs, the post of one
ADRM will be re-designated as CpM/Gati Shakti of that division.

1.3 In case there are two or less ADRMs in the division, CpM/GS
will be posted by making suitable adjustment in the cadre in
accordance with the post codes mentioned in Annexure .A, (at
present) .to. fast track the execution of infrastructure works.
However, in future, these post codes may be changed, if required
by the GM.

1.4 Establishment expenditure of the Gati Shakti units including

0/* Cd,,A
Page 122 of 260
_-...-.-
 that of CPMi GS shall be charged to the projects.

1.5 SGiJAG/SS/JS officers of Engineering, S&T, Electrical and

Finance will be posted for major infrastructure development
works such as station re-development, major yard remodeling,
coal connectivity, port connectivity, traffic facilities works and
ROB/RUB works. The post codes of these disciplines are
mentioned in Annexure 'A'. GMs may however augment the
GSUs by providing additional officers and staff, and provide
further delegation of power based on regular reviews of progress
of GSUs.

1.6 GM's in consultation with PCOM may decide about the traffic
officer to be associated with CPM/GS. In case, a need is felt to
augment the traffic establishment of the division, separate
JA6/SG officers may be posted under the administrative control
of CPM/GS.

being processed separately. Division's Gati Shakti Unit
undc"rtake feasibility study of projects required for the division at
the rates communicated by Railway Board from time to time'
with the linance of GS Unit, and with the approval

Net Zero Energy Buildings for Indian Railways

Vision:

Minimize the environmental impact of new buildings and make the

infrastructure carbon neutral in the long run through Net-Zero Energy
Buildings (NZEB1)

This vision will be achieved by designing, constructing and operating globally

benchmarked green buildings, which are efficient in terms of energy use, water use,
and waste minimization, while maintaining a comfortable and healthy environment for
the occupants. The buildings will integrate renewable energy systems as a part of the
design strategy so as to achieve the NZEB status.

To be carbon neutral, the renewable energy produced over time will offset not just
the total operational energy but all the other emissions as well. These include the
embodied energy of the building as well as all other ongoing uses of energy like fuel,
gas, coal, etc.

Performance Specifications:

The following performance specifications are required to be met for all the new
buildings being proposed.

1. Green building Certification:

a. All buildings to be rated at thehighest possible level for both design
and operations - The green building ratings could be USGBC LEED
Platinum or GRIHA 5-Star or IGBC Super Platinum
b. New building design and construction certification must be achieved
within 3 months of completion of each building, and compliance needs
to be maintained for the tenure of the contract.
c. Within3 years of operation, highest level ofgreen building certification
for existing building operation and maintenance must be achieved.
USGBC LEED Platinum or IGBC Platinum level certification for

Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB )
NZEBs are buildings that, through renewable means, produce as much energy as they consume, when
accounted for annually. They embody the highest level of energy efficiency and climate responsive design
by first reducing energy demand, then meeting the residual demand through renewable means. The
architectural design of such buildings follows the logical sequence of achieving NZEB status - focusing on
building form and orientation for load reduction, resource efficiency, energy efficiency, and low-energy
comfort systems before strategizing to meet the residual load through renewable means.

 existing buildings (EB) to be achieved and maintained for the tenure of
the contract.
2. Net-Zero Energy:
a. Renewable energy2 produced onsite should be at least equal to the
total energy used by the building annually. The buildings will be grid-
connected; consuming grid power when required, and feeding excess
power to the grid when the renewable energy system is producing
extra.
b. The renewable energy systems can be installed anywhere on site,
including building rooftops, ground mounted, and other locations
within the project boundary.
c. In cases where on-site renewable energy is not sufficient or feasible,
off-site 3renewable energy should be installed so as to achieve NZEB
for the building.
3. Net-Zero Run-off
a. Demonstrate rainwater storage and harvesting as per local ground
water authority recommendations, so as to ensure 100% rainwater
management for the project boundary considering typical rainfall.
4. Net-Zero Waste
a. Provide facilities and infrastructure for waste management as given
below
i. No waste sent to landfill
ii. All organic waste processed on site
iii. Toxic and Hazardous waste to be sent for safe disposal
iv. Electronic waste to be sent to e-waste recyclers
v. All others (plastic, paper, metals etc.) sent for recycling offsite
vi. All sewage treated onsite and treated water to be reused
b. During construction ensure 100% of the waste is reused or recycled
and is not sent to landfills
c. Maintain Net-Zero waste status as proposed during the contract
period

2
Renewable Energy systems can in include Solar PV, Solar Thermal, Biogas, Geothermal, Micro
wind, etc. as per MNRE definition
3
Off-site systems may or may not be connected directly to the proposed building
