The platform number 1 of Hubballi Junction has a length of 1,505 metres, thus becoming the longest railway platform of the world as of March 2021. The earlier record of being the longest platform was held by the Gorakhpur Railway Station (1366 metres), but with the extension of the Hubballi railway station to include a new platform, it holds that position now.
