With the completion of the Kazipet–Balharshah link in 1929, Chennai was directly linked to Delhi.[4][5]
The Wadi–Secunderabad line was built in 1874 with financing by theNizam of Hyderabad. It later became part ofNizam's Guaranteed State Railway. In 1889, the main line of theNizam's Guaranteed State Railway was extended to Vijayawada, then known as Bezwada.[6]
As of 1909, "From Wadi on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, theNizam's Guaranteed State Railway runs east to Warangal and then south-east towards Bezwada on the East Coast section of the Madras Railway."[7]
The Dornakal–Kazipet sector was electrified in 1988–89, the Kazipet–Ramagundam sector in 1987–88 and the Kazipet–Secunderabad sector in 1991–93.[8]

Coal freight from Singareni, Kothagudem, Ramagundam, Bellampalli and Balharshah mines account for around 40 per cent of the goods traffic handled by the railways in the Kazipet–Balharshah sector.[11]
