Guwahati Railway Station (Station code: GHY) is located in the heart of the city of Guwahati, Assam. It is the first fully solar-operated railway station in India. It has been rated as A1-category station. Just behind the Guwahati Railway Station is the Assam State Transport Corporation Bus Terminal.
An ISO-certified railway station, Guwahati Railway Station has been ranked 21 in cleanliness among the A1-category railway stations in India.[2]
To reduce the traffic on the Guwahati junction, there is another railway station in the city at Maligaon, the Kamakhya railway station. Almost all newly introduced trains run from the Kamakhya Jn. railway station only. There were plans to make a new railway station at Beltola (in the southern part of Guwahati) to introduce trains towards Shillong, Meghalaya. Plans have not been finalized and are still in progress.
Guwahati railway station claimed to have become the first railway station to run entirely on solar power.[3] The solar panel installation project was commissioned in April 2017,[4] but an on-the-spot assessment by G Plus in February 2023 revealed that the solar power generated by the railway station covered only 15 per cent of its power requirements.[5]
In recent years the railway station has received a 100 feet-high tricolour.[6] It is the tallest tricolour among any railway station in northeast India.[7]
