Three railroad projects proposed under PM GatiShakti for reliable logistics

The Network Planning Group has studied and suggested three significant railway projects under the institutional framework of the "PM GatiShakti National Master Plan." They include the doubling of the Gorakhpur Cantt-Valmikinagar rail line, the doubling of the Katihar-Mukuria and Katihar-Kumepur rail lines, and the conversion and extension of the Pachora-Jamner gauge up to Bodwad.

The three projects are crucial for ensuring quicker transportation of commodities in the hinterland, which will increase logistics efficiency and lower logistics costs.

In order to meet its goal of moving 3 billion metric tonne of freight, the Ministry of Railways has designated a "high density network" of railway lines.

The 95 km length between Gorakhpur Cantt and Valmikinagar is crucial for ensuring freight flow, particularly the movement of agricultural grains from western India to North Eastern States. Previously, there was only one railway line in this area, which had an impact on freight circulation.

The proposed doubling project, which is estimated to cost Rs 11.2 billion, is already under construction from Valmikinagar up to Muzaffarpur and is expected to greatly increase logistics efficiency.
