Nampally derives its name from a Diwan of Hyderabad, Raza Ali Khan whose title was Nekh-Nam-Khan. [4] A jagir was granted to him, Nekh-Nampally, which became ‘Nampally’. [5] The Nampally Railway Station was built in 1907 by Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII, the last Nizam of Hyderabad state.

The Hyderabad Railway Station, popularly known as "Nampally Station", was used mostly as goods siding while the Secunderabad Railway Station (built in 1874) saw its first train on 9 October 1874 when the Wadi-Secunderabad line was commissioned by the Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway. The Hyderabad Railway Station had to wait till 1921 before the first passenger train came chugging in. The delay was because as the Begumpet Railway Station was being constructed, it was discovered that the railway line passed through the property of Viqar-ul-Umra and it was only when he insisted that the trains stop at Begumpet, did he grant permission for full construction of the Begumpet Railway Station. Once that issue was resolved, trains began plying between Secunderabad and Hyderabad - passing through either the Hussain Sagar Junction or Begumpet Railway Station.[ citation needed ]

As of today, it has emerged one of the busiest Railway Stations with many Express and Super fast trains terminating or originating from here that include the legendary Telangana Express - the first Super fast train of South Central Railways that runs between Hyderabad and New Delhi - and the Hyderabad–Visakhapatnam Godavari Express and Hussainsagar Express trains.[ citation needed ]
