More then new line towards Raipur which takes long time technicallly difficult and financially not much viable MP of RJY should stress for 3rd line and bridge on Godavari on existing pier before Pushakaram to be held in 2027 which will have direct impact to public everyday travelling in Vskp VJA section being BJP state president and good relations in Centre.

Last 40 years onwards , we enhanced the existing infrastructures not explored the new routes. it a win win situation for chhattisgarh and andhra. if a new track constructed, A direct coastal connectivity will happen for chhattisgarh if railway connected at Rajahmundry which is very near to kakinada port. Technically it is very easy project when we compare chardham projects. financially revenue will be good since this track is very useful to move the coal from chhattisgarh mine to port/tourisam(maredumilli)/. Here this project required some attention of political people. railway can consider this project in Gatisakthi/sagarmala. Pls find ROR details.

1% is nothing they would have considered freight options too in survey. Min ROR required is 14% for new line to be financially viable.The present Kothavalsa Araku doubling of 60km Ghat section remaining will itself take 3 years more as 45 tunnels need to be constructed. This new line will take even more as most of it will be in reserve forest area and Ghat section. GQ, EW, NS corridors of 10,000km is giving 65% of revenue by moving freight and passenger services and its utilization is 150% there is urgent need to increase infrastructure in these lines by adding 3rd and 4th lines and IR is doing it but lacks pace in development.

Metrics and statistics wise may be your correct. they have to construct the line in reserve forest and Ghat sections but Jeypore-malkangiri-badrachalam and kirandul-kothagudem on cards... so expecting this can be taken up.

this is y i'm talking about railway line between Rajahmundry to raipur/jagadalpur.. which is alternative cardior to climb north and direct port connectivity to chhattisgarh. every thing is possible. any way vaishnaw last 6 years worked on malkangiri track. if east godavari mp's and west godavari mp's focus this line we can get this line. For andhra pradesh this track is crucial for future operations.
