This monumental achievement surpasses the previous record holder, Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh.

A Colossal Undertaking

Constructed at a cost of Rs 20.1 crore, the Hubli railway station boasts a staggering platform length of 1507 meters – that's nearly one and a half kilometers! This incredible length ensures that even the longest trains can comfortably fit on a single platform, enhancing passenger convenience and operational efficiency.

A Boost to Indian Railways

Indian Railways, the lifeline of the nation, continues to expand and improve its services. With over 13,000 passenger trains traversing through more than 7,000 stations, the railway network plays a vital role in connecting millions of people across the country. 

The Hubli railway station stands as a symbol of India's progress and its aspiration to be a global leader in infrastructure development.
