Indian Railways is making extensive progress in reforming the track infrastructure across the country. Keeping this in mind, the government has increased the budget allocation in FY 2022-23. The government has also increased the annual capital expenditure on Railway capacity expansion.
In this context, South Eastern Railways’ Kharagpur-Adityapur 3rd line project is in the final stretch. Nearly 82 percent of the 3rd line project has been completed so far. The total length of the project is 132 km whereas 90.583 km has been commissioned till date. 17 bridges out of a total of 19 major bridges have been completed. It is being expected that the new line project will get completed within this year. Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), a category-I Mini-Ratna CPSE under the Ministry of Railways, is executing the project.
