Ministry of Railways sanctions Rs 2.88 bn for 8.1 km Sambalpur flyover

The Ministry of Railways has approved Rs 2.88 billion for constructing an 8.1 km railway flyover connecting Sambalpur station with Sambalpur city station. This significant project aims to enhance train operations and alleviate congestion at this critical junction.

Part of the Indian Railways' energy corridor scheme for sustainable infrastructure development, the flyover will enable simultaneous train movements from all directions at Sambalpur, easing train traffic and ensuring smoother operations.

Currently, cross-traffic from Jharsuguda, Titilagarh, and Angul directions causes delays and operational inefficiencies at Sambalpur junction and Sambalpur city stations. The flyover will resolve these issues by allowing simultaneous train movements without surface crossings, thus preventing detentions and improving overall operational capabilities in the region.

Upon completion, the flyover will provide dedicated infrastructure for trains from and to Titlagarh, Jharsuguda, and Angul directions, bypassing the need for crossing other lines. This will eliminate cross-traffic delays, enhance train speed, and reduce waiting periods for trains approaching this busy junction.

?This is a significant project for the region. Trains will no longer be detained at Sambalpur and Sambalpur city stations, significantly reducing waiting periods,? said a railway official.

Previously, the ministry sanctioned Rs 1.91 billion for a 7.41 km flyover at Khurda Road station and Rs 1.83 billion for an 8.11 km flyover at Titlagarh station to facilitate smoother train operations at those junctions.

FTC Solar sees 67% YoY decline in Q3 revenue from lower volumes

FTC Solar, a U.S.-based provider of solar tracker systems, reported a revenue of $10.14 million in the third quarter (Q3) of 2024, surpassing analyst expectations by $240,680. However, this figure marked a 66.8% year-over-year (YoY) decline compared to the same quarter in 2023, primarily attributed to reduced product volumes. The decline in solar tracker revenue was mainly due to an 82% decrease in the amount of MW produced, which was negatively impacted by delays in customer projects. This was partially offset by an increase in the average selling price (ASP), which led to better pricing an..
