The station is situated in Raigad district of Maharashtra. It is situated between Hamrapur and Kasu railway stations. Two MEMUs originate from here and terminate at Diva Junction and vice-versa. In addition to this, MEMUs from Roha to Diva and vice versa halts here. Also, Dadar–Ratnagiri Passenger and Diva–Sindhudurg Passenger also has a halt here. These trains are being utilized completely by the local people but still there is a long pending demand to start Local trains on this route both slow and fast services, for the convenience of the passengers. It'll also facilitate office-goers who goes to SoBo or Mumbai Suburbs on a regular basis.

There's a goods train's line bifurcating from main line and goes to a factory in Alibag. There's a recent plan to introduce passenger train services on this route, thereby reducing travel time of the office-goers as Pen has direct passenger train services to Thane and Dadar. At present one needs to take an ST (State Transport) bus to Pen and then take a train or ST bus to Panvel, from where they can easily board the Local trains to Mumbai. [2]
