COVER STORY

Pre-bid Meeting conducted regarding CSMT Railway Station redevelopment project

CSMT is a historic and UNESCO World Heritage site located in the heart of Mumbai city. The

redevelopment plan encapsulates integration of various modes to make this railway station a

multimodal transport hub as per the vision of Hon’ble PM of India. It will include segregation of arrival and departure, divyang friendly station, better level of services for passengers,

energy efficient building and restoring the heritage site as per its 1930 levels. The CSMT

railway station will function like a city centre rail mall where in addition to a passenger’s transportation needs, his daily needs are also fulfilled, like- Retail, F&B, Entertainment,

Souvenir shopping. The aim is that most of his daily needs are catered to by visiting the

railway station thus avoiding unnecessary travel within the city.

The infrastructure at the redeveloped station is envisaged in such a manner that it promotes

seamless integration from one mode to another mode. Upon redevelopment, it will provide

multiple access points to passengers for easy commute and also a direct linkage between

suburban railway, harbour line, long distance, Metro rail and commercial development. This

will help in reducing the congestion while enjoying the enhanced heritage structure. Efforts

would also be made to integrate the last mile connectivity so that passengers can be

provided end-to-end solutions.

HIGHLIGHT

DDA and IRSDC join hands to formulate a policy for Master Plan of Delhi 2021

to operationalize TOD policy for MRTS stations

DDA formulated a group under the Convenor-ship of MD & CEO, IRSDC with Chief

Architects of DMRC and NCRTC as Members to draw a draft policy/guideline to

operationalise the TOD Policy for MRTS Stations based on 2-3 case-studies by DMRC and

NCRTC.

4

The Group has drafted its recommendations suggesting the amendments/additions only

to the paras/clauses of Master Plan for Delhi 2021,which are not in compliance with

provisions of Central Govt. Acts, approvals of Union Cabinet and Central Government

Policies.

Summary of recommendations of Committee:

Different TOD frameworks have to be applied to Railways and MRTS/ RRTS even though

both are rail-based infrastructure projects. Entire development in Railway land would be

covered under the Railways Act’ 1989 whereas commercial development in RRTS/ MRTS projects would be under the local by-laws but with certain special considerations/

relaxations.

RRTS and Metro stations are mostly elevated/ underground with a minimum possible

footprint on the ground and having a ground coverage of 90-100% for the operational

structure itself. Property development for RRTS/ MRTS Stations/ depots has to be viewed

entirely differently from other land owning entities, as they are essentially generating

land above ground/below ground for property development.

Mandatory Pedestrian Connections through

• Full plot area (including entire Metro/RRTS station area land/depot land) to be considered for the calculation of total FAR permissible.

• Operational structures as defined (by MOHUA) under para 12.17 of MPD-2021, shall not be counted towards FAR consumed.
