==Future==
Due to a rapid rise in rail transport in Hyderabad, the [[Railway Board (India)]] had decided of a fourth railway terminal in addition to the existing ones at [[Secunderabad railway station]], [[Kacheguda railway station]] and [[Hyderabad railway station]]. The board would decide after the proposals of {{rwd|Secunderabad}} and {{rwd|Hyderabad}} divisions. The Hyderabad division proposed the Malkajgiri railway station as the fourth rail terminal in Hyderabad. Even if the Railway Board does not consider the proposal of the Hyderabad division's bid for Malkajgiri as the fourth [[terminus station|terminal]], passengers of the division can benefit since the existing station at Malkajgiri willsoon be transformed into a passenger terminal at an estimated cost of Rs. 1 crore.<ref name=NT>{{cite news |title=Proposal for the Fourth rail Terminal for Hyderabad |url=http://www.hindu.com/2006/06/21/stories/2006062121130300.htm
