As part of a comprehensive redevelopment and beautification initiative,Indian Railways undertook significant upgrades to passenger facilities at Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station in 2019. The station now features digital information boards displaying train names, numbers, platform details, and timings. All platforms have been equipped with modern lifts and escalators, while green polycarbonate sheeting on the platform roofs helps maintain a cooler environment. The station has been refreshed with a new colour scheme for the platform shelters and vibrant traditional murals adorn the approach road. Platforms 2 and 3 now boast vacuum-dewatered flooring, enhancing cleanliness and reducing the risk of slips.[5]
Additional improvements include two reverse osmosis water systems with taps on the platforms, water vending machines, and the installation of approximately 300 new steel benches. Waste segregation is facilitated through separate dustbins for dry and wet waste, and a dedicated sanitation helpline has been introduced for passengers to report cleanliness concerns. For enhanced security, marshals are stationed on the platforms,Delhi Police officers monitor the entry and exit points, and CCTV cameras are strategically placed throughout the station.[6]
Furthermore, the station now offers designated lanes for autos, taxis, and ride-hailing services such asOla andUber. A premium parking area has been created in front of the station building, while new landscaping and fountains have been added along the access road, adding to the station's overall charm.[7]
