Indian English: out of town, away from one's usual city or workplace, typically for work or family reasons. Standard in corporate emails ("I will be out of station from Monday to Wednesday") and in formal phone messages. Originates from colonial-era military and railway parlance — a "station" was the cantonment or posting where a British officer was based, and being "out of station" meant temporarily absent from it. The phrase has long since lost its military edge and now simply means "away on a trip", but it remains specific to South Asian English; outsiders usually parse "out of station" as some sort of transport reference.
