According to South Central Railway (SCR) zone officials, the redevelopment of Cherlapally railway station, estimated to cost Rs 4.3 billion, is nearing completion and is expected to be finished within a few weeks. An SCR source informed TNIE that recent reports from higher authorities to the Ministry of Railways indicated that the works were close to being completed. The officials explained that the station, located on the eastern side of Hyderabad, is being upgraded with the latest infrastructure.

They noted that the revamped station will be capable of handling 15 pairs of additional train services and will feature 10 new lines. Additionally, the redevelopment will include four new high-level platforms, and the existing five platforms will be extended to accommodate full-length trains.

Officials also mentioned that the eastern region of the city, which includes LB Nagar, Uppal, and Malkajgiri, is experiencing rapid development due to its proximity to the Outer Ring Road. Once completed, the station is expected to improve commuting for residents in these areas.

The source added that the station was selected for redevelopment to alleviate congestion at other existing rail terminals in the twin city region and to better serve passengers in the eastern part of the city. Cherlapally will become the fifth terminal in Hyderabad, joining Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Kacheguda, and Lingampally railway stations.
