New Giridih railway station, station code NGRH, is a satellite railway station serving the city of Giridih in the Indian state of Jharkhand apart from the existing main Giridih railway station. It is situated nearby to the Khandoli reservoir-cum-dam in Gadi, near NH-114A.

New Giridih station is a crossing station located in the Koderma–Maheshmunda line of the Dhanbad railway division in the East Central Railway zone of Indian Railways, which is a part of a larger Madhupur–Giridih–Koderma line single-line broad-gauge rail route extending from Koderma up to Madhupur. The total length of the route is 138 kilometres (86 mi). The station has 3 platforms and offers basic amenities like waiting rooms and refreshment stalls. It is a vital transport hub connecting Giridih to major cities in the region. However, the platforms are not well sheltered, and the station lacks many facilities including sanitation and passenger shade.
