Ahmedabad Junction railway station, Railway junction in Kalupur district, India
Ahmedabad Junction is a railway station with twelve platforms in the Kalupur district of India, serving as the main transport hub of Gujarat. The facility links Ahmedabad with all major cities across Western India and handles hundreds of train services daily.
The station opened in 1863 as one of the first railway stops in Western India during British colonial rule. Over the decades it grew into the highest revenue-generating division within the Western Railways network.
The name Kalupur comes from the historic neighborhood where traders and artisans have gathered for centuries. Waiting halls display patterns and colors that echo the textile traditions of Gujarat.
Travelers find food stalls, medical shops and internet cafes with wireless access in the main halls. Waiting areas for longer stays offer seating and access to restrooms on all levels of the facility.
A large redevelopment continues until 2060, creating elevated roads and new passenger facilities. The work runs parallel to daily operations, so travelers can witness the transformation as they pass through.
