Development
The renovation of Sant Hirdaram Nagar station was completed in 2021 by the West Central Railway zone of Indian Railways.[4] In the same year, coach guidance systems which display the code and coach number of an oncoming train were installed on the station, thus upgrading facilities.[5] Recently, a proposal to upgrade the waiting hall for passengers, due to the increased footfall was made.[6]
