Gwalior Railway Update: High-tech engine repair facility to reduce dependence on Jhansi
Gwalior is getting a major technical boost as the Indian Railways introduces high-tech repair facilities for rail engines. This development will allow locomotive maintenance to happen locally in Gwalior, ending the long-standing reliance on Jhansi for these critical services. This move is part of a larger effort to strengthen rail infrastructure in the region.
What are the new technical upgrades in Gwalior
The focus is on the high-tech repair of rail engines to ensure better maintenance and efficiency. While Gwalior already has the Indian Railway Centre For Advance Maintenance Technology in Lashkar, these updates aim to make the city self-reliant for locomotive repairs. This means engines will no longer need to be sent to Jhansi for specialized technical work.
How is Gwalior Railway Station being transformed
Along with technical upgrades, the Gwalior Railway Station is undergoing a massive redevelopment project worth Rs 534.70 crore to make it look like an airport. The project includes several modern passenger amenities:
| Facility | Details |
|---|---|
| Passenger Capacity | 12,355 in AC concourse |
| Lifts | 19 units |
| Escalators | 23 units |
| Platforms | Increased to 6 |
Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia inspected the site in September 2025 and stated that the work is being fast-tracked. The goal is to complete this world-class renovation by the end of 2025 or early 2026 to boost local tourism and passenger comfort.
