The Howrah-Amta line of Martin's Light Railways was opened up to Domjur in 1897, and to Amta in 1898. An extension from Bargachhia junction to Antpur was opened in 1904, and a further extension to Champadanga in 1908.[3] The lines were in operation till their closure in 1971.[4]

The new Howrah-Amta broad gauge line project, including the Bargachia-Champadanga branch line, was sanctioned in 1974-75. The first 24-km stretch of the section from Howrah to Bargachia was completed in 1984 by South Eastern Railway along with electrification, and commissioned soon after. The 6 km long Bargachhia-Munsirhat stretch was inaugurated in 2000.[5] The Mahendralal Nagar-Amta section was finally opened in 2005.[6] However, the Bargachhia-Champadanga branch line is yet to be completed. According to the reply to a parliamentary question in 2006, land to be provided free of cost by the State Government as per Memorandum of Understanding, was still to be handed over.[7]
