Project Importance & Impact:
The project establishes a shorter and strategically significant rail corridor connecting the Kalyana Karnataka region with Telangana via Raichur. It enhances passenger and freight movement across agriculturally rich regions such as Raichur, Sindhanur, and Koppal, improves logistics efficiency, and reduces travel time. The new line also helps decongest existing saturated rail routes and supports balanced regional development by strengthening rail connectivity, trade, and economic growth in the region.
