British Government in India established the railway station in the then Roosvelt town named Chandmari Halt in 1883. In 1954 it was renamed into Kalyani. In 1979, the rail line was extended from Kalyani main station to Kalyani Simanta and also established direct connectivity to Sealdah through Kalyani Simanta local EMU trains.[2][3]
