Begumpet railway station (station code: BMT) is a grade-4 non-suburban (NSG–4) category Indian railway station in Secunderabad railway division of South Central Railway zone.[2] It serves Begumpet, a neighbourhood of Hyderabad and has achieved a unique landmark of fully women employees operated railway station.[1] It was selected as one of the 21 stations to be developed under Amrit Bharat Stations scheme.[3]

Redevelopment

Begumpet railway station underwent significant redevelopment under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, with an estimated investment of ₹26.55 crore. The project aimed to modernize the station while incorporating elements of Telangana's cultural heritage.

The upgraded station features several passenger amenities, including escalators, lifts, spacious waiting halls, modern sanitation facilities, and infrastructure designed to support disabled commuters.[4] A symbolic installation of the Indian Roller, the state bird of Telangana, serves as a cultural centerpiece within the premises.

According to South Central Railway (SCR) officials, enhancements also include improved lighting systems, landscaped green areas, water features, and clearly marked signage to facilitate commuter navigation. The station is staffed entirely by women, encompassing roles such as station master, ticketing personnel, Railway Protection Force (RPF) constables, and booking clerks. A dedicated surveillance system has been implemented to bolster safety measures, particularly for female passengers. [5]

On 22 May 2025 Prime Minister Narendra Modi has virtually inaugurated the redeveloped Begumpet railway station[6]
