Shakkar Nagar station has a history dating to the Nizam's Era. The Nizam Sugars Limited was constructed as the largest sugar plant in the country(said to be largest in asia before independence by locals) when The Nizam of Hyderabad was the ruler of Hyderabad state comprising of telangana in AP, parts of Karnataka and Marathwada of Maharshtra. This station is right beside the Nizam Sugars and a exclusive MG Railway line was laid to facilitate movement of sugar cane from farms to the factory when Road transport was rare and difficult in those times. After the Hyderabad state became a part of India in 1948(1 year after independence) the Factory began to encounter trouble, the railroad which was laid to transport cane from Nearby farms became history.
