The Statue of Unity, the world's tallest Iron Man, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, is located in Ekta Nagar, Kevadia, Gujarat. Ekta Nagar, which is fast emerging on the map of world tourism, is paying great attention to the facilities of the tourists. This is the reason why Indian Railways is developing Ekta Nagar railway station as a tourist hub.

Tourists are reaching from far and wide to see the Statue of Unity. In such a situation, rapid development works are being carried forward here. The Railways is going to set up an Art and Craft gallery to promote local tribal art within the world class railway station premises. Railways will also earn from this gallery running on PPP mode. Apart from this, there is also a plan to run a restaurant. The station itself has world class rooms for the stay of tourists. Apart from this, another hotel is also being built. At the same time, to save the Statue of Unity from pollution by the Railways, the work of building a green corridor will start by April. Under this, 51 points will be made for charging electric vehicles in the parking zone of the railway station itself. After their construction, the parking of the vehicles of tourists will have to be parked at the railway station. From here onwards, the distance of about 6.5 km will have to be covered by electric vehicles only. Officials believe that with such an effort, the effect of pollution on the statue can be reduced. At present, the vehicles of tourists go till near the Statue of Unity.

The craze of traveling in a Vistadome coach fitted in the Ekta Nagar train from Ahmedabad is increasing among tourists.
