Network Planning Group recommends three important railway projects
The Network Planning Group constituted under the institutional framework of PM GatiShakti National Master Plan has examined and recommended three important railway projects.
The NPG examined the project related to doubling of railway line between Aurangabad and Ankai in Maharashtra. This will provide an alternate route to reach destinations like Mumbai, Delhi and Amritsar from Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Nizamabad etc.
The proposed project will increase section capacity from 114 per cent to 143 per cent and improve goods and passenger traffic on this single line. This doubling can also cater to the potential freight traffic movement from the nearby industrial clusters as it falls on the Aravali Dakshin Sampark Corridor.
