Yes, there is one passenger that sets out by 0630 hours and lands up at PDY around 1100 hours, but as you may be very well aware that it is of no use as road travel takes you a max of only 3 hours (by 0930 you are in PDY) with a freq of every 15 mins. MS-PDY rail will be beneficial only when the current MRTS branches out from Velachery and runs parallel to the ECR to read PDY. There is already a proposal in place, but remains only on paper.
but if they can make the trains run at average of 60kmph, it will still be useful. train will take about 3.5 hours. that will be better than bus in most situations.
sadly the railways almost never care about short distance travellers. all short distance trains are terribly slow
