Some of the features of the new station according to the plan unveiled by the Railways is a multi-storey building within the station. It will also have separate terminals for arrivals and departures. A proposal has been made for three commercial skyscrapers towards the Ajmeri Gate-facing section of the station.

The Railways has reportedly submitted a detailed plan to South Korean Railways to redevelop the station by leveraging open land and air spaces both inside and outside the station. According to the plans, a passengers’ waiting lobby will come up on the first floor of the station while disembarking passengers will have to use elevators and escalators to exit the platforms that will be on the ground level of the station. The plans allocate second floor for offices.
