Whilst the station had existed for many years on the line to Howrah railway station, work for its upgrade to a railway terminal started in 2015.[5] SER wished to use it for their long-distance trains which would otherwise have to go to the crowded Howrah station, which is operated by Eastern Railway.[5]
