One such critical project that will be of tremendous help in economical movement of cargo to and from the greenfield port that is in the process of being established at Machilipatnam is the railway line connecting Machilipatnam (Krishna district) with Repalle (Bapatla district).
According to reliable sources, bidirectional movement of freight is essential for Machilipatnam port to achieve its commercial objectives, and it aids in the overall economic development of the region.
