Aizawl now has a direct railway station and it is the fourth capital city in Northeast India to have a railway station after Guwahati, Itanagar and Agartala.

== History ==
The '''Sairang Railway Station''' was developed as part of the [[Bairabi–Sairang line|Bairabi–Sairang railway line]], a 51.38 km broad-gauge project connecting [[Bairabi]] town in Kolasib district in the state of Mizoram to [[Sairang]], approximately 15 km from [[Aizawl]], the capital of [[Mizoram]]. Initially proposed in 1998, the project received formal approval from the [[Government of India|Indian government]] in 2008–09 and was declared a [[National Project of India|National Project]] to expedite its completion. Construction commenced in November 2014, with the foundation stone for [[Sairang|Sairang station]] laid by then-Railway Minister [[Suresh Prabhu]] on 11 November 2016.<ref>{{cite web |date=12 February 2021 |title=Indian Railways to soon connect Mizoram's capital Aizawl with its network.

The project faced significant challenges, including difficult terrain, limited working seasons, and a tragic bridge collapse in August 2023, which resulted in the loss of 26 lives. Despite these setbacks, the line was successfully completed and received [[Commission of Railway Safety|Commissioner of Railway Safety]] (CRS) authorization in June 2025, marking a major milestone in connecting [[Mizoram]]'s capital to the national railway network.

On 13 September 2025, Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]] inaugurated the [[Sairang Railway Station]], fulfilling a long-standing aspiration of the people of [[Mizoram]]. During the inauguration, he also flagged off several key passenger trains, including the [[Sairang-Anand Vihar Terminal Rajdhani Express|Aizawl–Delhi Rajdhani Express]], [[Kolkata–Sairang Express|Aizawl–Kolkata Express]], and [[Guwahati–Sairang Express|Aizawl–Guwahati Express]], significantly enhancing regional connectivity. The station is being developed into a world-class facility, with plans to introduce additional services and improve infrastructure to meet the growing transportation needs of the region.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2025-09-14 |title=Mizoram's first railway line: PM Modi inaugurates Rs 8,070 crore worth Bairabi–Sairang project; Rajdhani flagged off to link Aizawl with national network |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/infrastructure/mizorams-first-railway-line-pm-modi-inaugurates-rs-8070-crore-worth-bairabisairang-project-rajdhani-flagged-off-to-link-aizawl-with-national-network/articleshow/123864448.cms |access-date=2025-10-24 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Geetanath |first=V. |date=2025-09-12 |title=A new railway line to redefine the Northeast |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/mizoram/a-new-railway-line-to-redefine-the-northeast/article70042089.ece |access-date=2025-10-24 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
