History

The Indore–Ujjain branch line was opened in August 1876 and the line was completed in 1879–80. It was part of the Scindia Railway. Ratlam–Ujjain line was completed and opened for traffic in the year 1896.

The surveys of Indore–Neemuch line via Ujjain started long back in 1871–72 when the plan and estimates for the whole project was submitted to the Government of India in 1872–73.

Maharaja Jayajirao Scindia of Gwalior agreed to grant a loan of Rs. 7.5 million at 4 percent per annum interest for the project.

Scindia Neemuch Railway amalgamated under a single management in the year 1881–82 and was named as Rajputana Malwa railway.

In November 1951, Western Railway with its headquarters at Mumbai came into existence after merging of Rajputana Malwa railway with the other State Railways and overtook the administration of Ujjain. The broad-gauge portion was extended from Ujjain – Maksi–Indore in 1964–66 and the doubling of the Indore–Bhopal sections was completed during 1993–2001.

The doubling of the sections Nagda–Ujjain section was done in 1979–1981 followed by in Ujjain–Maksi section 1964–1965.

This junction is electrified in 1992 and Ratlam–Bhopal passenger was the first electric train. The Ujjain-Indore route and Indore Junction were electrified in 2011.

Gauge conversion of the Ujjain–Fatehabad line has an estimated cost of Rs 120 crore. It will reduce the distance between Ujjain and Indore by 20 km as well as reduce one and a half hours. The Railways closed this 134-year-old metre-gauge rail section in February 2014.

In September 2017, the station was the awarded the Best Tourist Friendly Railway Station by President Ramnath Kovind at a glittering ceremony at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi.
