Dadri Railway Station: 150-year-old British era station to get modern makeover by June 2026
The Dadri railway station, which is nearly 150 years old, is undergoing a major transformation. Under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, the colonial-era symbols are being removed to make way for a modern two-story building. The project aims to provide better facilities to passengers and a new look to the station.

The new two-story building will bring all railway departments under one roof for better management. Passengers will get access to free Wi-Fi and other modern amenities. Once the new building is inaugurated, there is a plan to provide halts for six express trains at the station. Additionally, a new foot overbridge is being constructed to make movement easier for travelers.
