PM Unveils Railway Projects Valued at Rs 28.71 Billion in Odisha

Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stones and dedicated four railway projects in Odisha, with a total value of Rs 28.71 billion. According to the Prime Minister, these projects are expected to enhance rail connectivity, reduce congestion on key routes, and contribute to the region's socio-economic development.

Among the inaugurated projects was the 25 km Lanjigarh Road-Ambadola-Doikallu railway section, part of the Vizianagaram-Titilagarh third line project, which cost Rs 4.32 billion. This section is set to improve connectivity between western Odisha and Andhra Pradesh and facilitate smoother freight movement, as stated by officials.

Another project is the 23 km Laxmipur Road-Singaram-Tikiri railway section, part of the Koraput-Singapur road doubling project, completed at a cost of Rs 2.60 billion. This section is designed to increase train movement capacity in southern Odisha and ease freight movement from resource-rich areas to major markets.

Modi also dedicated the 41 km Dhenkanal-Sadashibapur-Hindol Road railway section of the Budhapank-Salegaon third and fourth line project, worth Rs 5.40 billion. This project is expected to enhance capacity on a crucial industrial route, ensuring more efficient transportation of goods.

Additionally, the 12.5 km Bangurkela-Nowgaon railway section of the Bondamunda-Ranchi doubling project, completed at Rs 2.39 billion, will help reduce congestion and improve connectivity between Odisha and Jharkhand.

Furthermore, Modi laid the foundation stones for four new railway projects, including a 7 km flyover between Siju and Paradeep coaching yard, costing Rs 2 billion. This flyover will eliminate surface crossings and ensure smoother train movements at Paradeep Port.
