Taranga Hill-Ambaji-Abu Road rail project gets approval

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs gave a nod to the construction of the Taranga Hill-Ambaji- Abu Road new rail line. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 2,798.16 crore. Other specifications include the total length of the rail line at 116.65 km, and the completion date by the end of 2027.

The project will generate employment opportunities during construction for about 40 lakh man-days. In addition to that, the project will speed up the movement of agricultural and local products along with enhancing the mobility of the people in the region. This project will also provide an alternative route for the existing Ahmedabad-Abu Road railway line.

The alignment of the proposed doubling will traverse through the Sirohi district of Rajasthan and Banaskantha and Mahesana districts of Gujarat. The construction of a new rail line will attract investment and lead to the overall socio-economic development of the region.
