People inhabiting neighbourhoods such as Aganampudi, Lankelapalem, Paravada, NTPC township, Pharma City and Ukkunagaram needed a large railway station nearer to their place of living. Duvvada railway station serves the population in the southern outskirts of Visakhapatnam.[3] The nearest Airport is Visakhapatnam Airport/VTZ which is 8 KM's from Duvvada railway station.
