A map showing the new railway lines sanctioned by the Union Cabinet.
The Union Cabinet approved the laying of the third and fourth railway lines between Rajahmundry (Nidadavolu) and Visakhapatnam (Duvvada) at an estimated cost of ₹9,889 crore on Saturday, aiming to ease congestion on one of the country’s busiest rail corridors.
The 198-km-long route, which is a part of the quadrupling initiative of the Howrah–Chennai High Density Network (HDN) route, will involve a total track length of 458 km.
