The project, with an estimated cost of Rs 6,256 crore, will run 13 trains, each with three coaches. It is expected to serve 95,000 passengers daily. Sarangi also confirmed that the necessary land for the project has been acquired, with more land set to be provided soon. The state government will fully fund the first phase, and assistance from the central government will be assessed later.
