The Coimbatore North Railway Station, better known as Vadakovai Railway Station is getting renovated at a cost of Rs.11.50 crore under the Amrit Bharat Station Developement Scheme.

The works began 7 months ago and the officials are in plans to complete them by December and bring them to public's usage, according to a report.

Several basic amenities were missing in the station, and they are being provided under this scheme. Improvement of front elevation, platform development, a new office block, booking center, waiting hall for passengers, vehicle parking, restrooms and 2 lifts are being built.

Earlier the works were expected to be completed in September 2024 but since some of the works are taking time, the officials have urged the team involved in the renovation works to speed up the process without compromising on quality.
