Located just outside the walled city of Shahjahanabad, it served as a focal point for metre-gauge trains traveling to Rewari, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.

The station features a ticket reservation center, three washing lines for train rakes, and five platforms.

Additionally, two platforms from the adjacent Vivekanandpuri railway halt are connected to Sarai Rohilla by a common foot overbridge.

As part of the Smart Cities Mission, plans are in place to redevelop Delhi Sarai Rohilla Station.

The redevelopment will include the areas surrounding the station, with a focus on improving passenger amenities, enhancing accessibility, creating integrated public transport hubs, and optimizing land use.
