History

Belgachia Station was commissioned by the Kolkata Metro as part of the first transit line of the metro system, commonly known as the North-South corridor. The station was the penultimate stop before Dum Dum, which, until the opening of the Noapara stop, was the terminal station on the railway system. The station became the first underground station on the northern side and continues to be one of the shallowest, lying at a depth of only 5 metres below Belgachia Road.[ citation needed ]

As part of the drive to increase non-fare revenue of the Kolkata Metro, the station was leased for branding and semi-naming rights to Kolkata-based conglomerate, Theism Group, rebranding it as Theism Belgachia officially. It was redecorated and rebranded by the corporate organization to become India's first health station. [4]
