SCR announces progress in Kazipet-Balharshah third line work

South-Central Railway (SCR) on Friday announced that a 19-km third line between Asifabad and Rechini Road, which is part of the Kazipet–Balharshah tripling and electrification project has been completed and commissioned.

The Kazipet–Balharshah section is a vital rail link along the Grand Trunk Route connecting the northern parts of the country with the southern region. Taking into account the previously completed Raghavapuram–Mandamarri section, a total of 184 km on the section has a third line and has been electrified, according to a press release.

The section, which falls in Telangana and Maharashtra under the Grand Trunk route, has been witnessing continual growth in both passenger and freight traffic. The tripling work between Raghavapuram and Mandamarri for a distance of 33 km was completed in 2016 to decongest this vital section.
