(a) to (d) Ministry of Railways has launched 'Amrit Bharat Station Scheme' for development of Railway stations on Indian Railways. This scheme envisages development of stations on a continuous basis with a long-term approach.

It  involves preparation of Master Plans and their implementation in phases to improve the amenities at the stations like improvement of station  access,  circulating  areas,  waiting  halls, toilets, lift/escalators as necessary, platform surfacing and cover over  platform,  cleanliness,  free  Wi-Fi,  kiosks  for  local  products through schemes like 'One Station One Product', better passenger  information  systems,  Executive  Lounges,  nominated spaces for  business  meetings, landscaping etc. keeping in view the necessity at each station.

The scheme also envisages improvement of building, integrating the  station  with  both  sides  of  the  city,  multimodal  integration, amenities  for  Divyangjans,  sustainable  and  environment  friendly solutions,  provision  of  ballastless  tracks  etc.,  as  per  necessity, phasing and feasibility and creation of city centres at the station in the long term.

So  far  1324  Railway  Stations  have  been  identified  under  this scheme  out  of  which  40  stations  are  located  in  the  State  of Telangana.  The  names  of  stations  identified  for  development under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme in the State of Telangana are as below:
