Bhopal Railway Station will now offer passengers not only travel but also rest and private space. Madhya Pradesh's first pod hotel has opened at Bhopal Station. It was inaugurated by MP Alok Sharma and DRM Devashish Tripathi. This pod hotel is designed on the lines of Mumbai Central Railway Station.

The railway has prepared this keeping in mind the convenience of the passengers, where now 78 pods will be available – 58 single (40 male, 18 female) and 20 family pods. Each pod will have facilities like a pillow, bedsheet, reading light, charging socket, lockers, and high-speed Wi-Fi.

Single pod rates are ₹200 (3 hours), ₹350 (6 hours), ₹500 (9 hours), ₹700 (12 hours), and ₹900 (24 hours). For family pods, charges ranging from ₹400 to ₹1500 have been fixed.
