As part of India’s ambitious drive to modernise its infrastructure, three key railway stations in the southern region – Begumpet and Karimnagar in Telangana, and Shornur Junction in Kerala – have recently undergone a transformative facelift.

With projects completed as recently as April and May 2025, these upgrades were carried out under two major national programmes: the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan and the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme (ABSS). While Begumpet and Karimnagar stations were developed as part of Gati Shakti Units (GSUs) to fast-track connectivity and urban infrastructure, the enhancement of Shornur Junction was aligned with the broader goal of improving passenger amenities and travel experience under the ABSS.

K-LITE played an important role in shaping the lighting landscape across all three stations. Known for their technical reliability and design-led solutions, K-LITE delivered a wide selection of outdoor lighting products that elevated both the functionality and visual appeal of these public spaces. K-LITE’s sales team proactively engaged with project stakeholders across each location, building strong relationships through continuous dialogue and project support – an approach that proved key to securing and successfully delivering these high-impact projects.

For the Begumpet and Karimnagar stations, architectural firm M/s Narsimham Associates from Secunderabad were entrusted with creating a landscape-led design vision. To support this, K-LITE supplied a wide range of decorative poles and contemporary landscape lighting fixtures to enhance the spaces.

At Begumpet, the integration of asymmetrical Sudo and Sudo Mini luminaires delivered focused, comfortable lighting and In-ground fittings were carefully placed to highlight natural elements. A mix of Nebula Mini and Midi fixtures, equipped with honeycomb louvres for glare control, brought refined accents to key areas, while Mushroom bollards, Neon Flex, LED strip lights, and recessed Cylin Mini luminaires ensured pathways and perimeters were clearly illuminated.

Karimnagar station followed a complementary design, with the lighting strategy centring on continuity and energy efficiency. Anila Celosia and Heron Conical poles were used to complement the design, with Imperial Mini, a decorative pole-mounted luminaire with downward light distribution to deliver a clean architectural emphasis.

At Shornur Junction, the lighting upgrade took a different route. Appointed directly by the Executive Engineer of the Palakkad Division, K-LITE worked closely with railway officials to deliver a tailored lighting solution that aligned with the goals of the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. The design focused on creating a safe, accessible, and visually welcoming environment for passengers. Here, the emphasis was on creating a lighting scheme that not only improved visibility and orientation but also enhanced the architectural expression of the station’s environment.

Across all three sites, the lighting solutions demonstrate a strength in delivering technically robust, aesthetically sensitive, and energy-efficient products. K-LITE’s commitment to supporting public infrastructure is evident in every detail of these railway projects. With thoughtful design coordination, intelligent product choices, and long-term collaboration with key project stakeholders, K-LITE continues to illuminate India’s path toward a smarter, more sustainable future.
