Headline: Aurangabad Railway Station Officially Renamed Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Mumbai, India – October 26, 2025 – The South Central Railway announced today the official renaming of the Aurangabad Railway Station in Maharashtra to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Railway Station. The change, approved by the competent authority and formalized in a gazette notification issued by the Maharashtra government on October 15th, comes three years after the city of Aurangabad was itself renamed Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
The station, located in the Nanded Division of the South Central Railway, will now be identified by the railway code ‘CPSN’. The renaming marks a further move away from Mughal-era names, as Aurangabad was originally named after Emperor Aurangzeb. The Aurangabad Railway Station was originally opened in 1900, built during the rule of Mir Osman Ali Khan, the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad.
The decision follows recent tensions surrounding Aurangzeb’s tomb in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, highlighting the sensitivity surrounding historical figures in the region. This renaming is seen by many as a symbolic reclaiming of Indian heritage.
Note: I’ve incorporated the initial “View From India” concept by giving the article a dateline of Mumbai and highlighting the local context and historical significance of the event.
