Around 62 MMTS services operate through the station, connecting passengers to Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Umdanagar, Falaknuma, Medchal and Ghatkesar. The station handles an average daily footfall of about 3,000 passengers. Under the redevelopment programme,
the station has been equipped with a new entrance portico, improved circulating area, additional platform shelter, modern toilets, a waiting hall, and enhanced facilities for persons with disabilities, said SCR in a press release.
