Railway stations may soon get a brand new prefix or suffix to their current names, as the Indian Railways on Monday allowed rebranding of stations to generate revenue.  

“The scheme is open to central and state government agencies, PSUs and reputable business entities including banks and financial institutions. Under this policy, the licensee [brand owner] concerned will be assigned the advertising rights to only prefix or suffix its brand name, not exceeding two words, or logo to the name of the railway station,” said Sumit Thakur, chief public relations officer, Western Railway.
