Indian Railways operate a handful of royal tourist trains like the Maharaja Express and Palace on Wheels, and to further extend the luxurious and exotic experience, the Safdarjung Railway Station will soon be refurbished.
Indian Railways has confirmed that the station will receive a grand makeover to operate such trains, at a cost of Rs 350 crore.
The station will be spruced up in a way to make it a memorable experience for tourists from the country and abroad.
