The railway line in the Dharam-Banihal section of the rail link project is being built by IRCON.

The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link (USBRL) project in Jammu and Kashmir is a 272 km railway line that is being built as a national project.

The sections between Jammu and Katra, as well as Banihal and Baramulla, have been completed and are now operational.
