The station’s approach viaduct towards Ahmedabad is finished, while work towards Mumbai is ongoing. Planned passenger amenities include a business class lounge, nursery, lifts, and escalators to enhance comfort.

The station is strategically located to ensure strong regional connectivity, being 7 km from Vapi Railway Junction, 7.5 km from the city bus stop, and 5 km from the Vapi GIDC industrial zone.
