The establishment of this station was announced in September 2011, nearly a decade and a half after the railway was commissioned in 1997.

A brief newspaper announcement simply said that a new railway station at Loliem between the existing stations of Asnoti (Karnataka) and Canacona (Goa) was being set up by the Konkan Railway Corporation and would "facilitate [the] many locals who commute from Loliem-Polem to Margao everyday".

The announcement was made by the Konkan Railway Corporation's managing director B P Tayal.

The former is a gateway to South Goa, Margao, the urban area of Vasco da Gama, and the beaches of South Goa, while the latter is a gateway to Mapusa town, the emigration-oriented sub-district of Bardez, and the North Goa beach belt.
