There are over 7,000 railway stations across the India, and many of them are big, catering to lakhs of passengers daily. Now India is set to build a landmark railway station which will have 16 floors — designed not just for trains, but also offering bus and metro access, along with commercial spaces inside the building. The station will transform the economy of the Ahmedabad, as well as to make commuting easier and faster.
The upcoming Ahmedabad station will be a major hub on the 508 km Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor, being developed with support from Japan. It will sit above Western Railway platforms 10, 11, and 12, and connect directly to Kalupur Metro Station.
The complex will include large parking areas, office spaces, commercial zones like shops, malls; passenger amenities like rest rooms, lounges; modern waiting and transit facilities. It aims to serve travelers, tourists, and city residents alike.
Railway officials say the project will be completed by July 2027. It is being developed to handle future passenger growth while keeping the station seamlessly connected to every part of the city.
India’s first Shinkansen-inspired bullet train, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR), will run at 320 km/h using Japan’s advanced E5 series technology.
The surrounding area will also be upgraded with better roads and transport links. Once completed, the station is expected to boost local business, tourism, and overall economic development — giving Ahmedabad a modern, world-class transit gateway.
