Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has doubled the 26.33 km Washimbe Bhalwani section of the Daund-Gulbarga doubling project. The Golden Quadrilateral route will see a significant capacity increase as a result of this project.

On 26 and 27 Oct 2021, Shri Manoj Arora, Commissioner of Railway Safety Central Circle, Mumbai, inspected doubling work in the Washimbe Bhalwani section of the Daund-Gulbarga doubling project.

The project included 65 bridges, three new station buildings at Jeur, Pophlaj, and Washimbe stations, and four new electronic interlockings. With the completion of the project, a major bottleneck at Pophlaj station has been eliminated, where trains were being reversed for crossing on this single line stretch on the golden quadrilateral.

Out of a total of 224.91 km, this completes 196.43 km of doubling. Train services are now available on the section.
