The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has floated a fresh tender to revamp the Shivaji Stadium bus terminus and the work will take at least three years to complete. According to NDMC Vice-Chairman Satish Upadhyay, the redeveloped bus terminus will comprise modern and eco-friendly green buildings made using fly ash bricks, thick glass to reduce energy consumption, a dual distribution system for potable water supply, a sewage treatment plant and solar panels among other advanced facilities. He said the building will comprise a ground floor, two storeys above it and two basements.
The official added that the total height of the building will be 14.85 metres. The two basements will be able to accommodate 113 cars with multiple e-charging stations. On the ground floor, there will be space for efficient movement of buses. Pick-and-drop points for multi-modal transport facilities such as auto-rickshaws and cabs will also be created, he said.
The estimated cost of the project is Rs 63.86 crore and it will be completed in three years, Upadhyay said. The tender will open on November 30 while the work is likely to be awarded by March 31 next year, with a completion date of March 30, 2027, the officials said.
