The British Government in India established the railway station in the then Roosvelt town named Chandmari Halt in 1883 . In 1954 it was renamed into Kalyani. In 1979, the rail line was extended from Kalyani main to Kalyani Simanta station and also established direct connectivity to Kolkata through Kalyani Simanta local EMU trains. The distance between Sealdah railway station and Kalyani main station is 48km.[3][1]
