History

This station was built during the period 1893–1896, supporting 1,287 km (800 mi) of railway tracks covering the coastal area from Cuttack to Vijayawada. It was built and opened to traffic by East Coast State Railway. Later in 1900s this was handed over to Bengal Nagpur Railway (BNR). When India became independent the station came under jurisdiction of South Eastern Railway. After 2003, as per restricting of Indian railways zones, the station fell under jurisdiction of East Coast Railway.

The Bengal Nagpur Railway was nationalised in 1944. The Eastern Railway was formed on 14 April 1952, with the portion of East Indian Railway Company east of Mughalsarai and the Bengal Nagpur Railway. In 1955, South Eastern Railway was carved out of Eastern Railway. It comprised lines mostly operated by BNR earlier. Among the new zones were East Coast Railway and South East Central Railway. Both these railways were carved out of South Eastern Railway
