Guwahati, 3rd July, 2026:
Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) is transforming
Majbat railway station under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme (ABSS), at a
project cost over 12Cr, reaffirming its commitment towards providing up-class
passenger amenities and modern railway infrastructure across the region. Majbat
is among the 92 stations identified for redevelopment under ABSS in the NFR
zone, of which 60 stations are located across the Northeast, including 50 in
Assam. The station comes under the Rangiya division of NFR and shares an
important place for the Udalguri district of Assam. The station redevelopment
project has been undertaken with a focus on improving passenger convenience,
accessibility and the overall travel experience while preserving the station’s
regional identity.
The redevelopment of Majbat station has brought
about a comprehensive transformation of the station infrastructure with the
successful completion of major civil, electrical and signalling works under the
Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. The station now presents a modern and aesthetically
enhanced appearance with an upgraded facade, spacious entry porch, improved
waiting hall, landscaped surroundings, widened circulating area, new toilet blocks,
improved approach roads & drains systems, platform shelters and other
passenger-centric infrastructure. To cater to the growing passenger demand,
Platform No. 1 has been extended to accommodate full length trains, while
tactile paving, Divyang-friendly drinking water booths and two lifts have also been
provided to ensure safe and easy access for all passengers. The redevelopment
has also strengthened passenger convenience through upgraded electrical
infrastructure, including modern lighting, air-conditioned waiting facilities,
mobile charging points, improved platform wiring and illuminated approach
roads. In addition, the commissioning of the Coach Guidance Board (CGB) and
Train Indication Board (TIB) has further enhanced passenger information and
operational efficiency, making Majbat station better equipped to serve the travelling
passenger.
The redevelopment of Majbat station reflects
Northeast Frontier Railway’s continued commitment to enhancing passenger
amenities through modern, safe and inclusive infrastructure. Once fully
operational under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, the upgraded station will
provide improved comfort, seamless accessibility for Divyangjan passengers and
better operational efficiency, contributing significantly to the socio-economic
development of the region while strengthening rail connectivity across Assam
and the Northeast.
