Kalakund railway station is a small railway station in Indore district, Madhya Pradesh. Its code is KKD. It serves Kalakund village. The station consists of a single platform, not well sheltered. It lacks many facilities including water and sanitation.[1] Recently gauge conversion started on this line. After conversion it will connect IndoretoSouth India.[2] This railway station was depicted in the R. Balki film of 2018, Pad Man, starring Akshay Kumar.
The station is connected with Dr. Ambedkar Nagar Railway Station (MHOW) to the north west and Sanawad to the south-east on the Dr. Ambedkar Nagar (MHOW) - Sanawad Meter Gauge Railline.
The station is well-connected to Indore Jn. via Dr. Ambedkar Nagar, MHOW.
At present, the station is on non-electrified rail route.
The conversion of Dr. Ambedkar Nagar Railway Station (MHOW)toSanawad (meter-gauge) to (broad-gauge) rail line is in progress.[3] Upon completion, It would directly connect Indore to Mumbai.[4]
However, the Kalakund station would be bypassed in the gauge conversion process.[5]
