It serves the neighbourhoods of Perungalathur and Peerkankaranai. It is situated about 32 km from Chennai Beach and has an elevation of 26 m above sea level
The station has two platforms. The platforms in the station can presently accommodate only 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.

This would be in use until both the level crossings are replaced by road over bridges.
