Bhavnagar Para Yard Remodeling to Ease Congestion at Bhavnagar Terminus
The project will help decongest Bhavnagar Terminus (BVC) by shifting stabling and other operational activities to Bhavnagar Para. This will enable smoother train operations, reduce rake detention and help improve punctuality. The additional infrastructure at Bhavnagar Para will facilitate better management of train movements and provide greater operational flexibility.
New Platform and Improved Passenger Facilities
The remodeling work includes four loop lines, one engine reversal line, ART and ARME siding, relocation of the Station and EI building, one high-level passenger platform, widening of the existing platform, extension of the existing Foot Over Bridge (FOB) and construction of one new FOB. The project will also include two Road Under Bridges (RUBs), including one new RUB and extension of an existing RUB, along with service buildings and associated electrical and signalling works.
Passenger convenience will be enhanced through a new high-level island platform, widening of Platform No. 2 and improved FOB connectivity at Bhavnagar Para station. These facilities will provide easier movement and access for passengers.
The Bhavnagar Para Yard Remodeling project is an important step towards strengthening railway infrastructure and improving passenger services in Bhavnagar. By easing congestion at Bhavnagar Terminus and creating additional terminal capacity, the project will support smoother and more punctual train operations. Improved platforms, FOB connectivity and other passenger facilities will further enhance convenience for people travelling to and from Bhavnagar and the surrounding region.
