It was built in 1907 by Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII the VIIth and the last Nizam of Hyderabad. The station was called Nam-pally because it was build in a moist and wet area in those days. "Nam" in Urdu means 'Wet and moist' and "Pally" means 'Place". It is due to the wetness of the place that the Nizam also chooses to build Bagh-e-Aam (popularly knows as Public Gardens) in the same area, knowing that a garden would flourish in a wet place.

The Hyderabad Railway Station or Nampally simultaneously build with Bagh-e-Aam, this station was used mostly as goods siding while the Secunderabad Railway Station (built in 1874) saw its first train on October 9, 1874 when the Wadi-Secunderabad line was commissioned. The Hyderabad Railway Station had to wait till 1921 before the first passenger train came chugging in. The delay was due to the fact that the Begumpet Railway Station was being constructed, it was discovered that the railway line passed through the property of Sir Vicar-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 It was resolved trains began playing between Secunderabad and Hyderabad either passing through the Hussain Sagar Junction or Begumpet Railway Station. As of Today, it has emerged one of the busiest Railway Station with many more Express and Super fast trains terminating or originating from here, that include legendary Andhra Pradesh Express the first Super fast train of South Central Railways runs between Hyderabad and New Delhi and the immensely popular trains; Godavari Express, Hussainsagar Express
