The Rail Land Development Authority will be conducting virtual roadshows for six days on redevelopment of the New Delhi Railway Station project from Thursday to Tuesday with investors and developers from several countries to discuss the project concept and proposed transaction structure.
The station is going to be developed on a Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer model for a concession period of 60 years, the RLDA release said.
