A Final Location Survey for 7.54 km-long Madhupur bypass line was sanctioned in February 2020 after construction of which trains from Jasidih can run up to Giridih and Koderma without loco reversal at Madhupur. A delay of more than 30 minutes for an engine change at Madhupur will thus be avoided. The estimated cost of the linking project is Rs 281 crore.

The major facilities available are waiting rooms, computerized reservation facility, reservation counter, and two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicle parking.^[5] The vehicles are allowed to enter the station premises. The station also has a STD/ISD/PCO telephone booth, ATM counter, toilets, refreshment room, tea stall and book stall.^[6]
