Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw informed the press in the national capital during a briefing on the cabinet decision. He stated that the total investment for these projects is estimated at Rs 6,798 crore, and both are expected to be completed within the next five years. These projects, which span three states Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana will not only modernise the Indian railway network but also contribute to job creation, economic growth, and the country's climate goals, he said.
The first project focuses on doubling the Narkatiaganj-RaxaulSitamarhi-Darbhanga Sitamarhi-Muzaffarpur railway lines, covering a total distance of 256 kilometres. This upgrade will strengthen connectivity between Nepal, the northeastern regions of India, and key border areas, improving both passenger and goods train services.
The increased capacity will ease traffic congestion and reduce delays, facilitating smoother operations on one of India's busiest sections.
Moreover, the doubling of these tracks will bolster socio-economic growth in the region by making the transportation of goods, such as agricultural products, fertilizers, and industrial commodities, more efficient.
This section plays a crucial role in serving Sitamarhi and Muzaffarpur, two aspirational districts identified by the government for focused development. The enhanced connectivity is expected to benefit approximately 388 villages and a population of around 9 lakh.
