The Union Cabinet has approved four major railway projects with a total estimated cost of Rs. 12,328 crore. The projects encompass the construction of a new railway line, which will connect the remote region of the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat with the Harappan site Dholavira, and three multi-tracking projects which will traverse through Karnataka, Telangana, and Bihar.
These projects include: –
(1) Deshalpar – Hajipir – Luna and Vayor – Lakhpat New Line
(2) Secunderabad (Sanathnagar) – Wadi 3rd and 4th Line
(3) Bhagalpur – Jamalpur 3rd line
(4) Furkating – New Tinsukia Doubling

The new railway line will extend the existing railway network in Gujarat by 145 route km and 164 track km, with an estimated investment of 2,526 crore rupees. The project is expected to be completed within a timeline of three years.
