Puri Railway Station modernisation causes train service changes

The East Coast Railway (ECoR) has announced temporary changes to several train services due to ongoing modernisation work at the Puri Railway Station in Odisha. The project focuses on upgrading platforms 3, 4, 5, and 6 to improve passenger safety, operational efficiency, and infrastructure reliability.

From October 21, 2026, through January 11, 2027, various inbound trains will be short-terminated at designated stations. For example, several services including the Rourkela–Puri (18125), Jaleswar–Puri (68441), and Talcher–Puri (68413) will terminate at Khurda Road. The Sambalpur–Puri (18303) will terminate at Sakhi Gopal, while others, such as the Tirupati–Puri (17480) and Sealdah–Puri (22201), will terminate at Malatipatpur on specific dates throughout the period.
