The lines at the station were electrified on 9 January 1965, with the electrification of the Tambaram—Chengalpattu section.^[3]

The Chengalpattu train station is located at the heart of the Chengalpattu city, on the banks of the Kolavai Lake. It is situated on the SH-58, and opposite to its main entrance lies the TNSTC and Mofussil bus terminals. There is also a statue in the memory ofPeriyar outside the train station.

The nearest airport from the station is theChennai International Airport located at a distance of nearly 42 kilometres from the city.

The Chengalpattu Junction being a focal point on theChennai–Villupuram line, inevitably means that every south-bound train from Chennai has to operate via the junction thus making it one of the most crowded railway stations of the Indian Railways.

There also several suburban trains operating from and through the station towards Chennai and the station holds prime importance in the South and South-west lines of theChennai Suburban Railway.

It is one of the 73 stations in Tamil Nadu to be named for upgradation underAmrit Bharat Station Scheme of Indian Railways.^[4]
