The upcoming railway station at Bodaki, now officially named Greater Noida Terminal, is set to become one of north India’s most modern transit hubs, designed as the National Capital Region’s gateway to eastern India, according to a report by Times of India.
Officials cited in the ToI report confirmed the terminal will be equipped to handle up to 100 trains, including Vande Bharat and other premium services.
Spread across 46 hectares within a sprawling 176 hectare multimodal transport hub, the terminal will feature 12 platforms and 63 yard lines for comprehensive maintenance operations.
The ground floor will serve core railway operations, while upper levels will offer commercial spaces, forming a mixed-use development model.
Strategically positioned less than an hour’s drive from the upcoming Noida International Airport, the terminal will significantly enhance connectivity between Delhi-NCR and eastern India.
The wider hub will integrate an inter-state bus stand, a local terminal, and a metro link from Depot to Bodaki, ensuring smooth transit for commuters from Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, and beyond.
With the additional DM (land) appointed as the competent authority, acquisition for the project was likely to be completed within two months, said officials.
The master plan is being prepared by DMIC-IITGNL, a special purpose vehicle jointly owned by NICDIT and GNIDA.
While Indian Railways will oversee core infrastructure, the SPV will handle financing and allied development.
Split into two zones, 130 hectares for transit and commercial use, and 46 hectares for the terminal, the project will connect to major roads and the Delhi-Howrah railway line.
Upon completion in three years, it will ease congestion at Anand Vihar and catalyse urban growth along the booming Greater Noida corridor.
