Khedbrahma railway station is a railway station Sabarkantha district, Gujarat, India. Its code is KDBM. It serves Khedbrahma city. The station consists of a platform.[1][2] The old station was part of the Ahmedabad–Himmatnagar metre-gauge railway line which was opened in 1911. It was rebuilt in 2025 after a completion of the conversion to the broad-gauge line.
The Ahmedabad–Himmatnagar metre-gauge railway line was opened in 1897 by Ahmedabad–Parantij Railway Co. in three phases: Ahmedabad–Talod, Talod–Prantij, and Prantij–Himatnagar; all in the same year. Later it was extended from Himmatnagar to Khedbramha in 1911. This gave a total length of 88.70 miles (142.75 km) from Ahmedabad to Khedbrahma.[3][4] It was a terminal station.[5][6]
On 1 January 2017, the rail service is suspended for gauge conversion.[7][8] In June 2022, ₹482 crore (US$57 million) were allocated for the project.[9][10][11] The project was inaugurated on 18 June 2022 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi[12][13] and was completed by August 2025.[14]
The new railway station in under construction which is likely to be completed in September 2025.[15]
In July 2025, the Indian Railways allocated ₹1.15 crore (US$140,000) for a location survey and detailed project report (DPR) for the Khedbrahma–Hadad–Ambaji line connecting Taranga Hill–Ambaji–Abu Road line.[16]
