Kevadia railway station (station code: KDCY) is located in Gujarat, India. Facing the Narmada river, it is 7 kilometers away from the small town of Kevadia. The construction of the station aims to make the Statue of Unity more accessible to tourists. Kevadia railway station is located at a distance of just 5 kilometres from Statue of Unity.[1][2]
The President of India, Ram Nath Kovind had laid the foundation stone on 15 December 2018. It is also India's first railway station with a Green Building Certificate.[3][4][5][6]
The construction of the railway station is set to cost 200 million Indian rupees. The railway line will connect Kevadia to Chandod, Moriya, Tilakwada and Garudeshwar. The existing Narrow Gauge railway line between Chandod and Dabhoi has been converted to Broad Gauge. Another 32 km stretch is being laid between Chandod and Kevadia.
The station building has three levels. The first two levels contain facilities for passengers and the third floor is a art gallery. It was inaugurated on 17th January 2021.
