About 62 suburban trains operate from the station, connecting Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Umdanagar, Falaknuma, Medchal and Ghatkesar.

The redevelopment includes a new station building with an improved façade, enhanced entrance portico and circulating area, a 12-metre-wide foot overbridge in addition to the existing bridge, two new passenger lifts, two escalators, improved platforms with additional shelter, a waiting hall, modern toilet blocks, landscaping, façade lighting and passenger-friendly signage.
