The foundation stone for this station was laid by Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani in 2002, reflecting political support for direct temple connectivity. The official opening took place on October 16, 2008. Lalu Prasad Yadav formally inaugurated the line and launched the 1463/1464 Veraval–Jabalpur Express, marking direct rail access to the Somnath temple precincts and shifting some shrine-bound traffic directly off
Veraval Junction. As of September 2022, the station was temporarily closed for redevelopment. The Western Railway's Gati Shakti unit is transforming it into a modern, temple-inspired terminal, featuring 12 shikhars echoing the Somnath temple’s architecture. ==Trains==
