Sangli railway station is a major railway station serving the city of Sangli in Maharashtra, India. It is classified as a Class A station within the Pune Railway Division of the Central Railway Zone under Indian Railways.^[1]

The station is situated at an elevation of 558 metres above sea level. The station has five platforms and operates on a double electric broad-gauge railway line as of 2020. The station facilitates the stoppage of 64 trains, with 3 trains originating and 3 terminating at the station. Among these services are 4 Vande Bharat high-speed trains. Additionally, Pune Airport is located approximately 200 kilometres from Sangli.

The General Manager of Central Railway has granted in-principle approval for the construction of a PIT line at Sangli Railway Station. This development will enable the origination and termination of long-distance trains at Sangli, enhancing connectivity to other cities. The new PIT line will also facilitate the introduction of local trains, such as the Sangli–Pandharpur, Sangli–Solapur, Sangli–Kurduvadi, Sangli–Belgaum, Sangli–Londa, and Sangli–Vasco services.

Before 1971, Sangli was the terminus of the narrow-gauge Miraj–Sangli railway line. Following gauge conversion in 1971, the branch line was closed, and Sangli was incorporated into the Miraj–Pune main line. The old station, located in the heart of Sangli city, was demolished in 2003. Several upgrades have been made at the station, including the installation of coach display units and paved platform surfaces.

There is a strong demand from passengers in both Belgaum and Sangli districts for the extension of the Mysuru–Dharwar Express up to Sangli. In response, the Railway Minister of State, Mr. Suresh Angadi, approved the extension. Furthermore, with the completion of electrification and doubling of the Pune–Sangli–Miraj–Bangalore line, Sangli has become a pivotal station along this route. Ongoing efforts from the local Railway Action Committee and Member of Parliament, Mr. Sanjaykaka Patil, have resulted in the Railway Board's approval of the extension of the Rani Chennamma Express and Parli Vaijnath DEMU Express to Sangli.
