Moula Ali Station, located within the suburbs of Secunderabad and Hyderabad has been given a special focus considering its geographical position within the city limits. Hence, thrust has been given by extensively modifying and improving the existing railway lines for enhanced train operations for transportation of both freight and passengers duly decongesting the section for enhanced train movements.

- To provide flexibility in train operations, both the lines have been provided with reception and dispatch facilities.
- This will facilitate in train operations by providing operation, stabling and halting facilities along these lines.
- Importantly, conversion of one of these lines into Loop lines provides for additional island platform facility for the passengers.
- As such, this will increase the number of platforms at the station from existing two to three.
Some other advantage as following:
- On the other hand, the conversion of the second line will give the flexibility of using it either for stabling / operating passenger trains or for loading / unloading goods lines as well.
