Contract durations are two to three years for stalls/restaurants/coolie and one year for parking. Security deposits and non-refundable application fees are modest (Rs. 300–10,000). The notice requires bidders to bear costs of new stall construction if no prior design exists. This is a recurring opportunity with multiple station lots; bidders can target individual stations or multiple contracts. The auction is imminent (late August 2026), so interested parties should move quickly to secure application forms and prepare security deposits.
