An outsourced five-year deal is projected to generate Rs 1.94 crore for NFR with no renovation or maintenance cost to the Railways.

Overview

  • Nine refurbished retiring rooms—seven two-bedded and two five-bedded—plus a 12-bed dormitory are now open on the station’s first floor.
  • All units have been converted to fully air-conditioned accommodations with upgraded beds and interiors for cleaner, more comfortable short stays.
  • The facilities were inaugurated in the presence of NFR General Manager Chetan Kumar Shrivastava and senior railway officials.
  • Operations, management, and upkeep have been outsourced through an open tender, with the service provider bearing renovation and operational responsibility.
  • NFR cites a projected Rs 1.94 crore in earnings over five years under the new model, replacing an in-house setup that carried recurring costs.
