Among the 103 stations, several are located in the southern states, including Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. In Telangana, authorities will inaugurate the Warangal, Karimnagar, and Begumpet railway stations. Andhra Pradesh includes the Sullurupeta railway station in this list.

The newly developed stations feature improved buildings, attractive entry gates, foot overbrididges, lifts, escalators, waiting halls, clean toilets, and better ticket counters. Designers created the stations’ look to reflect local traditions and cultures, giving each station a unique identity.
