As part of a redevelopment underway, envisioned are 36 two-way escalators in addition to an existing eight escalators. Rail authorities would ensure unidirectional passenger flow. Located in Andhra Pradesh’s largest and most populous city on the Bay of Bengal, the station is being redeveloped with two more platforms to accommodate more train services, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the three-year project on November 12.
