New Delhi, June 22, 2020: Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) has floated two RFPs for development and leasing of 15 multi-functional complexes for a lease period of 45 years. The multifunctional complexes (MFCs) are in the vicinity of respective station complexes and fall in the circulating area of the railway stations. The 15 plots ranges from 250 sqm to 4850 sqm & are spread over the states of Gujarat, Bihar, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. MFCs provide multiple facilities like shopping, food stalls/ restaurants, book stalls, ATMs, medicine and variety stores, budget hotels, parking spaces and other similar amenities for rail users at railway stations. Clearances are not required from local authorities for development of MFCs since they are declared as operational buildings of the railways.

“These multi-functional complexes will command high footfall since they will provide enhanced passenger amenities for the public under one roof, within walking distance of railway platforms. The complex may have a budget hotel, lodging and boarding arrangements, restaurants and shops.” shared Ved Parkash Dudeja, Vice Chairman, Rail Land Development Authority.
