As part of fire safety measures, underground water tanks of 50,000 to 100,000 litre capacity will be set up at the station.

The 450-metre-long four-laned flyover will be built at a cost of ₹ 694.3 million and the central portion will be integrated with the Vadapalani Metro rail station.

A separate bay will be constructed inside the station to enable MTC buses to drop and pick up passengers.
