On record
Redevelopment of Gwalior Junction began in December 2022 with an original 24-month deadline, but by August 2025 only about 50% of the work was complete; the deadline slipped from December 2024 to May 2025 and beyond, with passengers reporting continued inconvenience from the sluggish pace of construction into 2026.
The official record states: "Officials attributed the delay to "the sluggish attitude of the contracting company KPC [Infra] and the negligence of officials," which led to the transfer of the Deputy Chief Engineer overseeing the project."
“Twenty-four months planned, fifty percent done at thirty-two, and passengers picking their way through the rest.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk
