These include Dimapur Railway Station, Alipurduar Railway Station, Kokrajhar Railway Station, Golakganj Railway Station and New Mal Junction Railway Station.

Dimapur Railway Station has qualified as per the guidelines laid down by FSSAI and has been granted the certification for the period from October 24, 2025, to October 23, 2027.
