Charlapalli railway station (station code: CHZ) is the fifth major Railway Terminal developed in Hyderabad City after Nampally, Secunderabad Jn, Kacheguda and Lingampally. It is the second biggest railway station in terms of platforms after Secunderabad Jn in the entire South Central Railways zone. It has been redeveloped to facilitate future needs and to create wider connectivity to other cities and parts of the country. It is currently operated by the South Central Railway zone of Indian Railways. The station was mainly developed to reduce the load on the other three major terminals, which are saturated with heavy movement of trains and passengers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Charlapalli railway station on 6 January 2025. The station has VIP lounges, food courts, escalators and air conditioning waiting rooms. According to railway officials, it is the second air-conditioned railway terminal in South India. It is also one of the greenfield projects for Indian Railways to construct a world-class terminal. This is the first railway station in the South Central Railway zone developed as a world-class futuristic railway station and the second in South India after Sir M. Visvesvaraya Terminal, Bengaluru.

The reasons for collapsed of the roofs of the terminal which was inaugurated only four months ago in January 2025 is currently being investigated. It is reported that prior to the collapse of the roof, 2.5 cm of rain with wind speeds of 15 kmph were reported.
