How Namo Bharat Stations Are Transforming into Lifestyle & Commercial Destinations

The Ghaziabad Namo Bharat station is the first pilot project under NCRTC’s commercial development plan on the Delhi–Ghaziabad–Meerut corridor.

Planned developments include rooftop restaurants, cafés, retail stores, wellness centres, pharmacies, hotels, banquet facilities, and lifestyle services.

Approximately 18,578 sq. m of commercial space is being offered across ground floor, upper levels, and Core-A floors through a tender-based licensing model.

NCRTC is offering commercial spaces under a 25-year licence framework, providing long-term operational clarity for developers and brands.

By integrating passenger amenities, retail, and services within stations, the project promotes transit-oriented development by reducing travel detours and enhancing urban convenience.

Ghaziabad offers high commuter footfall due to dense residential areas, nearby markets, educational institutions, and proximity to the city’s main bus terminal.

The initiative boosts non-fare revenue in public transport, helping NCRTC reduce reliance on ticket income while sustaining station operations.

Yes, the redevelopment is designed to attract both commuters and nearby residents, positioning stations as neighbourhood lifestyle destinations.

Such infrastructure-led lifestyle hubs often increase demand for nearby housing, rentals, and commercial spaces, improving overall urban livability.
