Overview
- South Central Railway announced the approval on October 25, with CPRO A. Sridhar confirming the change in a formal statement.
- Official railway communications will no longer use the name Aurangabad, with signage and announcements shifting to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
- The station is under the Nanded Division of South Central Railway, and Central Railway also issued the update.
- The step completes the rail renaming nearly three years after the city adopted the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar name to honor Maratha heritage.
- Opened in 1900 under the Nizam of Hyderabad, the station is a gateway to the UNESCO-listed Ajanta and Ellora Caves.
