🚉 What Makes Navapur Station One-of-a-Kind?

Navapur Railway Station uniquely straddles the border of Maharashtra and Gujarat, literally built on two states. That's about as exclusive as it gets in Indian rail transport.

• The station platform is roughly 800 meters long with 500 meters in Gujarat and 300 meters in Maharashtra.
• There’s a yellow border line painted across the station, marking this division, and even a wooden bench placed on the platform is split down the middle between the two states.

🗂️ State-Specific Infrastructure & Rules

• The ticket counter and RPF office fall under Maharashtra jurisdiction.
• The station master’s office, waiting room, and restrooms are located in Gujarat.
• Alcohol is banned on the Gujarat side, while the Maharashtra side prohibits gutka/paan. The station adheres to each state’s laws accordingly.

🗣️ Multilingual Operations

Train announcements and signs are broadcast in four languages English, Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati, to serve passengers traveling from both states.
