Shri Suresh Angadi, Hon’ble MoSR today (26.10.2019) reviewed the redevelopment works of Belagavi Railway station.
Speaking to the Press on this occasion, Hon’ble MoSR informed that new station building is being constructed at Belagavi and a second entry is also coming up on Tilakwadi/Southside. New Station building will have G + 3 floors with approx 4000 sqm area at a cost of Rs.14Cr. It is planned with all modern facilities on par with Airports. Shri Suresh Angadi directed Railway officers to complete the station building by next year’s Deepawali. The new station building will have wide concourse, parking for two/ four wheelers, reservation counters and AC and general waiting rooms. Shri Ajay Kumar Singh, GM/SWR, Shri Rajesh Mohan, Divisional Railway Manager / Hubballi and other senior officers were present.
The new energy-efficient building with modern amenities in place of the existing station building will have modern amenities as below:
Concourse for free movement of passengers
Modern booking counters
Executive lounge
Waiting hall for Ladies/Gents
Food court
Retiring rooms
Dormitory
MoSR informed the media that Train No.17325/17326 Ashokapuram (Mysuru) – Hubballi – Ashokapuram (Mysuru) Vishwamanava Express service will be extended upto Belagavi Railway station with effect from 1st November, 2019.
Hon’ble MoSR also informed the media that due to good patronising of Train No. 06526/06525 Belagavi-KSR Bengaluru-Belagavi Tatkal Special will be made a regular train havinglatest technology LHB coachesfrom 1st November, 2019 with normal ticket fare instead of Tatkal fare. This will reduce the ticket fare substantially. (Table of fare difference enclosed).
Hon’ble MoSR also informed the media that Infrastructure development was a priority and had advised Railway officials to complete doubling between Londa – Miraj by the year 2021.
Hon’ble MoSR informed that a Coaching depot is being planned at Belagavi that will enable starting of trains from Belagavi. This will help in increasing more number of trains from Belagavi as maintenance at Belagavi will reduce dependency on other cities for train maintenance.
Need to extend Bangalore-Hubli Janshatabdi to Belagavi, And late night trains to Pune & Mumbai cities as well.
Of course electrification work between Miraj-Londa subsequently taken up after doubling. Already doubling work completed between Ghatprabha- Chikkodi road.
Good heartening and welcome news for the Belagavis- However once these railways projects are completed, the up-keeping and maintaining the Station area clean, the onus will then be the upon the citizens of Belagavi…
First the Auto mafia at Railway station should be reigned in. The prepaid counter operator is in cahoots with them. Disappears when trains arrive. No police monitoring of prepaid counter. Should be operated by Traffic police, like in Bengaluru and Mysuru.

Central me Modi hai to Mumkeen hai Belgavi me Suresh Angdi hai to mumkeen hai.
Mr. Angadiji……also think of having a good train for Pune & Mumbai cities as well. Please do not bring any political issue in this suggestion. However one can note that there are many bus operators between Belgaum and Mumbai / Pune
ಅಂಗಡಿ ಸರ್ ತುಂಬಾ ಒಳ್ಳೆ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ . ಅದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಹೃತ್ಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ಅಭಿನಂದಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ
Nice gift to Belgaum. If Bangalore Hubli janshatabdi extended to Belgaum will help more.
Good to hear and we expect the words are put into actions
First the basic need of proper road is not being completed… The smart city is becoming dumb day by day because of the delay in development… Cities selected after Belgaum as smart cities have done more development than Belgaum… Every work Undertaken is either incomplete or completed pathetically… For ex one can visit from 3rd gate to VTU… So many pot holes…
Angadi sir please Bangalore New Delhi rajdhani express train route Karnataka ki second capital city se bhi jana chahiye
Sir please think about it. Belgaum route se koi bhi premium train nahi hai.
Let it become a “GENUINE Railway station First”,,, Later on Decide about making like an Airport….
This is great for BELGAVI and this also count as dewali gift from our HONERBLE MOS Mr. Suresh Angdi sir also we request one daily train for Delhi and Kolkata which will be helps n numbers of people to connect BELGAVI.
Lot of thanks sir
Very Glad to hear that the Belgaum Railway station will be upgraded to Airport status. Its glad news that Belgaum will have many Trains. However the completion of Railway Electrification work between Miraj-Londa is not mentioned.
