TelanganaSCR plans to develop Malkajgiri railway station as major terminal with new lines and revamped platforms

The revamped Malkajgiri railway station is likely to be thrown open soon, with passengers expecting better amenities and more train halts. Redeveloped at a cost of ₹27.61 crore under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme (ABSS), the station now features a new entrance facade on the Platform-3 side facing Mallikarjunanagar, an upgraded booking office, improved flooring, passenger lounges, and more.

Flooring work on the island platforms serving Platforms 1 and 2 is still in progress, but it has been completed on Platform 3, while the newly installed lifts and escalators on all three platforms are yet to be commissioned. The makeover, however, is only one part of a much larger plan.
