India’s First Railway Station With 16 Floors: Will Serve As Multimodal Transport Hub, Transform City Into...

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 station’s architecture draws inspiration from Ahmedabad’s heritage — a roof representing hundreds of kites and a façade inspired by the intricate lattice work of Sidi Saiyyed’s Jaali.

This won’t be just a railway station. The structure is being developed as a multi-modal facility providing access to- Bullet Train, Metro, Rail services, and Bus transport. All from one integrated point to make commuting easier and faster.

The 16-floor 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.

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.

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.
