The New Delhi Railway Station may get a facelift soon as the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA), a statutory body under the Ministry of Railways, plans to redevelop the busy transit point in the capital on Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept, reports MoneyControl.

RLDA plans to conduct virtual roadshows with investors and developers from countries like Singapore, Australia, UAE, and Spain in this regard.

The New Delhi railway station is situated in the prime area of Delhi with commercial hub Connaught place and headquarters of many important institutions located nearby. The station is also connected by both airport line and yellow line of Delhi metro which connect various parts of the capital.
