The first passenger train in India ran on 16 April 1853 on the track laid by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai to Thane.

The GIPR line was extended to Kalyan in 1854, then on the south-east side to Khopoli via Palasdari railway station at the foot of the Western Ghats in 1856.

While construction work was in progress across the Bhor Ghat, GIPR opened the Khandala–Pune track to the public in 1858.

The Pune–Londa main section was converted from metre-gauge to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge in 1971.

[3] Railway electrification in India began with the first electric train, between Bombay Victoria Terminus and Kurla, by the GIPR on 3 February 1925, on 1.5 kV DC.

The robot will help protect passengers and rail staff from infection in addition to performing security maintenance.

In addition to this, there are 14 food stalls which are currently functional at the Pune Railway station as per IRSDC.

Other amenities in the station include waiting halls, dormitories, retiring rooms, cloak rooms, book stalls, health kiosks, pay and use toilets, SBI credit card kiosks, ATMs, water vending machines, pay and park and many others for the convenience of passengers.

The 160 kWp solar power plant generates around 2.4 lakh units (kWh) annually.

Pune railway station serves as a stop for southbound trains from Mumbai, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

There are eight DEMU trains that operate between the Pune Junction and Daund station.

[19] There are plans to increase service in the Mumbai–Pune section,[20] lay additional track between Pune and Lonavala, increase the budget for track surveys[21][22][23] and construct separate terminals for suburban trains.
