Daund got connected to Srigonda by road when in 1928 the bridge over river Bhima was constructed.

Before establishment of Daund Chord Line, trains from Pune, Goa, Hubli, etc., and going to Delhi, Howrah, etc.

had to get their engines reversed in opposite direction at Daund Junction, which was a very time-consuming process.

To avoid this problem, a new station for halting such trains was established in 2020, named Daund Chord Line.

24 stations of Daund-Ankai section will be merged with Pune Railway division.
