Perambur Railway Terminal Approved as Rs 4.28 Bn Project Awaits Sanction

A new railway terminal has been proposed in the Perambur area, receiving approval from Southern Railway's General Manager, RN Singh. The project aims to reduce congestion at Chennai Central.

The estimated cost of the terminal is Rs 4.28 billion, and the sanctioning process is currently underway with the MAS division.
