SCR Project: 54 Railway stations to get Wi-Fi

In its ambition to make all railway stations internet-enabled, the government will provide Wi-Fi to 54 railway stations under SCR.  The government aims to make 600 railway stations Wi-Fi enabled before March 2018.


At present, Rail Tel Corporation of India and Google are working hard to extend free Internet access to 54 'A' and 'B' category stations under the six divisions of South Central Railway. SCR has 31 'A' category stations, from where the revenues each year hover between Rs 8 crore and Rs 60 crore. Of these, 15 stations are equipped with Wi-Fi.

If we look at the current status, Wi-Fi facilities are available at 216 stations in the country at present.
