Located on the eastern side of Hyderabad, this is the fourth passenger terminal in the Hyderabad-Secunderabad twin cities region.

The Charlapalli new terminal, built at Rs. 413 crore, can handle an additional 15 pairs of trains with four extra high-level platforms. The existing five platforms were also extended to accommodate full-length trains. Another 10 lines are available, taking the total capacity to 19 lines.
The new facility features spacious concourse areas, an illuminated facade, two spacious foot overbridges, and lifts and escalators. A 12-metre-wide foot-over-bridge connects all the platforms directly from the concourse while a six-metre-wide foot-over-bridge is for inter-platform movement.
The station building comprises six booking counters, separate waiting halls for men and women, as well as an upper-class waiting area and an executive lounge on the ground floor. Additionally, the first floor houses a cafeteria, restaurant, and restroom facilities. All 9 platforms would have escalators and lifts – a total of seven lifts, and six escalators for facilitating passenger movement. It will also have coach maintenance facilities for facilitating the originating and terminating of trains at the station.
