The chosen stations for this transformative endeavour encompass Adilabad, Basara, Begumpet, Bhadrachalam Road, Gadwal, Hafizpet, Hi-Tech City, Uppuguda, Hyderabad (Nampally), Jadcherla, Jangaon, Kachiguda, Kamareddy, Karimnagar, Kazipet Junction, Khammam, Lingapally, Madhira, Mahabubabad, Mahbubnagar, Malakpet, Malkajgiri, Mancherial, Medchal, Miryalguda, Nalgonda, Nizamabad, Peddapalli, Ramagundam, Secunderabad, Shadnagar, Sri Bala Brahmeswara Jogulamba, Tandoor, Umdanagar, Vikarabad, Warangal, Yadadri, Yakutpura, and Zaheerabad.

Out of these stations, Hyderabad railway station commands the lion's share of Rs 3.09 million (accounting for 54 per cent) for an all-encompassing overhaul, trailed by Nizamabad (Rs 533 million), Kamareddy (Rs 399 million), Mahbubnagar (Rs 399 million), and Mahabubabad (Rs 397 million).
