Land acquisition for Amaravati railway line project fast-tracked

The South Central Railway (SCR) has fast-tracked the land acquisition process for the Amaravati railway line project, which will connect Yerrupalem in Khammam district to Nambur station in Guntur, passing through Amaravati. The new line, which has been approved by the Union Cabinet with a budget of Rs 2,245 crore, is expected to be completed within four years, with the state government urging for completion in three years.

Approximately 80% of the required land is already available through the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA), with only a small portion needing to be acquired in NTR district. SCR plans to acquire 60 acres of land in Yerrupalem and Kesireddypalle villages, with a draft notification issued for farmers to file objections.

The project will include nine stations and a key multi-modal cargo station at Paritala, located near Nandigama, which will serve as a major freight hub. The state government has also requested the development of Amaravati station as one of the largest and most advanced railway stations in the country, with 1,500 acres of land earmarked for the station’s development.
