Jaisalmer is set to get a major upgrade to its rail infrastructure with the completion of the redevelopment of its railway station at an estimated cost of Rs 140 crore.
The revamped Jaisalmer railway station has been designed as a harmonious blend of local architectural heritage and modern technology. The station building reflects the city’s rich history through the use of yellow sandstone elements and traditional Rajasthani designs, while incorporating contemporary facilities. This fusion offers passengers an immediate glimpse of Jaisalmer’s desert culture while ensuring comfort and efficiency.
With passenger convenience as a key focus, the station has been equipped with lifts and escalators, modern waiting halls, improved lighting, and upgraded sanitation facilities. These enhancements aim to provide a smoother and more comfortable travel experience for commuters and tourists alike.
To ease passenger movement, a well-planned concourse and circulating area have been developed. Improved parking facilities within the station premises will benefit passengers arriving in private vehicles. For safety and ease of navigation, the station also features a foot overbridge, cloakroom facilities, clear and visible signboards, and a digital passenger information system.
Special attention has been given to inclusivity, with facilities designed for persons with disabilities. These include ramps, specially designed toilets, and barrier-free access across key areas of the station. With these additions, the redeveloped station has emerged not merely as a transit point but as a modern, passenger-friendly transport hub.
