New Delhi: One of the Indian Railways stations in Delhi, Safdarjung Railway Station is now being prepared in a modern look in the style of an airport. In the future, besides royal trains, passenger trains are also planned to be operated from here. Currently, there are no passenger trains running from this station. The entry and exit at this station will be separate like an airport, and the arrival and departure platforms for the trains will also be different, to ensure there is no crowd at any point. In fact, Safdarjung Station has so far been recognized only for the operation of royal trains like The Palace on Wheels, Maharajas Express, Heritage Express, and trains to various pilgrimage sites. There are no trains for regular passengers from this station. But now, plans are being made to run passenger trains here along with royal trains. According to information, the new station is being developed over an area of 41,350 square meters at a cost of approximately Rs 385 crores. Air-conditioned concourse area
The CPRO of Northern Railway, Himanshu Shekhar Upadhyay, stated that in the new building at Safdarjung, there will be two basements in addition to the ground floor, which will have double-story parking, and it will be a 7-story building. The concourse area of the station will be fully air-conditioned and will feature lifts and escalators for convenience. He mentioned that the most significant aspect is that just like airports have separate entry and exit gates, this station will also have separate entry and exit points, which will help prevent crowding at the station. Additionally, separate platforms will be ensured for train arrivals and departure platforms will be separate.
The CPRS has stated that the entire building will be connected to central air conditioning. It will be linked to both metro and road transportation. The building will be equipped with green energy systems, meaning it will have a solar system. Power requirements will be met solely through solar panels. There will also be facilities for water recycling and rainwater harvesting. A differently-abled friendly station is being constructed, and CCTV cameras will be installed to monitor the situation. For the convenience of the people, there will also be special ticket counters, waiting rooms, VIP lounges, and food courts.

Airlines likely to post $36 billion profit in 2025: IATA
NEW DELHI: Airlines are expected to post a combined profit of $36 billion in 2025, up from $32.4 billion last year, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Monday. Speaking at IATA's Annual General Meeting (AGM) in New Delhi, Director General Willie Walsh emphasized that airspace should remain free from trade war disruptions, urging governments to avoid using it as a tool in geopolitical disputes. This marks India's first hosting of the AGM since 42 years ago. Walsh highlighted supply chain challenges, noting 17,000 aircraft backlog, 1,100 relatively new planes in storage, and a three per cent fleet replacement rate. IATA forecasts global airline profits of $36 billion for 2025, surpassing 2024's $32.4 billion but slightly below December 2024's projection of $36.6 billion. Walsh noted that whilst $36 billion profit appears substantial, it translates to merely $7.20 per passenger per segment. He cautioned that this modest margin leaves little room for additional taxes, increased charges, demand fluctuations or costly regulations that could test industry stability. IATA, representing approximately 350 airlines and over 80 per cent of global air traffic, predicts industry revenues will reach $979 billion in 2025, exceeding 2024 figures by 1.3 per cent. The World Air Transport Summit and AGM anticipate 1,700 attendees. IATA reports that India's aviation sector directly employs 369,700 people, generating $5.6 billion in GDP. Including indirect, induced and tourism impacts, these figures expand to 7.7 million jobs and $53.6 billion GDP contribution (1.5 per cent). Brazil will host the next IATA AGM in 2026.
