In a bid to elevate the railway infrastructure and enhance passenger experience, Kedgaon Railway Station, nestled within Pune Railway Division, is poised for a remarkable transformation under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. The station, currently categorized as NSG-5 (Non-Suburban Halt-5), serves as a crucial hub connecting various destinations including Mumbai, Kolhapur, Latur, Hyderabad, and more.
Kedgaon Village, housing the station, boasts a vibrant marketplace within Daund taluka, along with significant establishments like the International NGO Pandita Ramabai Mukti Mission, dairy plants, and educational institutions. This development initiative not only promises improved facilities for travelers but also bolsters local connectivity, benefitting nearby villages such as Choufula, Deulgaon, and Pargaon.
Outlined in the development plan accessed by Pune Pulse, the project entails a comprehensive overhaul with key highlights including the establishment of a main entrance gate and portico, enhancement of circulating areas with parking facilities, and provision of modern amenities like modular furniture, improved toilets, and water booths. Additionally, measures to ensure accessibility for differently-abled individuals, illumination upgrades, and digital signage installations are on the agenda.
The planned works, estimated at Rs 12.54 Crores, signify a commitment to elevate Kedgaon Railway Station into a modern and efficient transport hub. With the impending introduction of Suburban EMU services in the Pune-Daund section, the station’s significance is poised to amplify, catering to the burgeoning demands of commuters with enhanced comfort and convenience.
This initiative not only underscores the railway’s commitment to modernization but also reflects a broader vision of fostering seamless connectivity and facilitating economic growth across regions. As the wheels of progress set in motion, Kedgaon Railway Station stands as a testament to the transformative power of strategic development initiatives.
