The station has two platforms. The platforms in the station can presently accommodate only 9-car rakes. Among the railway stations in the Chennai Beach–Chingleput section, Perungalathur railway station is the sole railway station that has platform that is not long enough to accommodate all compartments of the 12-car rakes. In 2012, Southern Railway began renovating the station, including expansion of the platforms to accommodate 12-car rakes. There are two level crossings, namely, LC No. 32 on the northern end and LC No. 33 on the southern end, on either side of the station, a few metres away from the platforms. LC No. 32 comes within the Peerkankaranai Town Panchayat limits and LC No. 33 comes under the jurisdiction of Perungalathur Town Panchayat. So the Railways has decided to build a mini platform to accommodate three coaches without closing either level crossings. This would be in use until both the level crossings are replaced by road over bridges.

ట్రాఫిక్

As of 2012, 84 trains halt at the station and about 10,000 commuters use the station daily.
