The station is noted for its maintenance by a public–private partnership between Mahindra World City Developers (MWCD) and the Indian Railways, reportedly the first of its kind in the country. MWCD gave the station a makeover after Mahindra World City, an integrated business zone, was developed in the neighbourhood.[2]
The lines at the station were electrified on 9 January 1965. On 15 January 1967, all the lines were converted to 25 kV AC.[1]
The station
MWCD developed the station at a cost of ₹ 15 million. It also maintains the station. The project includes building and maintenance of the main structure including the ticket counter, waiting room and toilets, fountains, platforms, foot over-bridge, and landscaped stretches of land around the station and near the tracks.[2]
