Rooppur Railway Station is a railway station on the Ishwardi–Rooppur branch of Chilahati–Parbatipur–Santahar–Darshana line located in Ishwardi Upazila, Pabna District, Bangladesh.
In 2018, it was planned to construct a railway station at Rooppur to transport its components and cargo to Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant. The planned branch line from Ishwardi Bypass railway station to Rooppur was planned to rehabilitate existing 17.52 km and construct 9 km dual-gauge track. The deadline for this railway line construction project was fixed in 2020.[1] The construction of Rooppur railway station and its track started in April of the same year[2] but could not be completed on time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Later, the deadline was pushed back to 2022.[3] Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated this B-grade railway station on 9 February 2023.[4] [5]
