Chennai
DOUBLING/ ELECTRIFICATION/ NEW RAIL LINE PROJECTS IN TAMIL NADURailways has taken up a number of projects for infrastructure development in Tamilnadu duly allotting substantial budget.
Average Budget Allocation for Infrastructure projects and safety works, falling fully/partly in State of Tamil Nadu, for 2014-19 is rupees 1,979 crore, which is 225% of the average annual Budget outlay of 2009-14 (rupees 879 crore).
Allocation of Budget for infrastructure projects and safety works falling fully/partly in State of Tamil Nadu, for 2019-2020 is rupees 2,410 crore, which is 274% of the average annual Budget outlay of 2009-14 (rupees 879 crore).
Presently, 09 New Line Projects covering a length of 871 Km at a cost of rupees 11,612 crore, 08 Doubling Projects covering a length of 592 Km at a cost of rupees 5,673 crore and 10 Railway Electrification projects covering route Km of 1633 route Km at a cost of rupees1570 crore, falling fully/partly in the State of Tamil Nadu are under different stages of planning/sanction/execution. The aggregate cost of these 27 projects is rupees18, 855 crore.
The timely completion of any Railway project depends on various factors like quick land acquisition by State Government, forest clearance by officials of forest department, shifting of infringing utilities (both underground and over ground), statutory clearances from various authorities, geological and topographical conditions of area, law and order situation in the area of project site, number of working months in a year for particular project site due to climatic conditions, encountering unforeseen conditions like earthquake, flooding, excessive rains, strikes of labour, orders of Hon’ble Courts, situation and conditions of working agencies/contractors etc. All these factors vary from project to project and site to site and affect the completion time and cost of the project, which is finally worked out at the completion stage.
This information was given by the Minister of Railways and Commerce & Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha on 10.12.2019.

No New Projects,Once Completed delayed Rail Projects by 2022
No New Projects,Once Completed delayed Rail Projects by 2022
NEW DELHI: The Indian Railways, which has witnessed delays in completion of several important projects, is aiming to finish all of them by 2022, on the occasion of 75th Independence Day. It also sees the option of allowing private operators to run trains as an opportunity to provide world class services.
In an interview with IANS, Minister of State for Railways Suresh C. Angadi said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has directed that all the pending projects and works be completed by 2022. We are focusing on completing pending works, like doubling and tripling of tracks, electrification, installation of CCTVs and signalling system upgrade.”
“New projects will be taken up only after completing them,” Angadi said.
The railways has witnessed delay in several projects, like building dedicated freight corridor, electrification and doubling of tracks in many parts of the country.
When asked about giving trains to private operators, the Minister cited the example of private TV channels and said, “The entry of private players will generate more jobs and investment opportunities. In the long run, a lot of development will follow due to the competition.”
In countries like China trains run at 400 kmph. But in India trains were not running even at 160 kmph, he said. “To compete with the world, we have to opt for investment from many sources. When a private company or people comes and invests in railways, it will create opportunities to develop economy,” he said.
According to the Railway Ministry, besides the Lucknow-New Delhi and the Mumbai-Ahmedabad routes being given to the IRCTC for operations, it’s mulling to allow private operators to run inter-city train services on 14 routes, 10 overnight and long-distance and four suburban trains.
The railways proposes to allow private operators on the Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Lucknow, Delhi-Jammu/Katra, Delhi-Howrah, Secunderabad-Hyderabad, Secunderabad-Delhi, Delhi-Chennai, Mumbai-Chennai, Howrah-Chennai and Howrah-Mumbai routes.
On opposition of the Congress and other parties to corporatisation and privatisation of railways’ manufacturing units, the Minister said, “The Congress never thought about development. It has always opposed development.”
“We have not got to think of the Congress, but development and competition, and let the economy grow and create employment opportunities,” Angadi said.
Citing examples, he said, the national highways remained undeveloped till the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government took it up and today even foreign countries were appreciating them.
The railways has proposed to corporatise Rae Bareli Modern Rail Coach factory in UP.
On the second Vande Bharat Express to J&K — almost eight months after Modi flaged off the first train from New Delhi to Varanasi, his parliamentary constituency, in February — an evasive Angadi decided to turn his focus on praising the Prime Minister, his vision and policies.
“First of all I want to congratulate the Prime Minister for his vision. When he became the Prime Minister he thought of developing railways and improving economic corridor. When he launched the Vande Bharat Express to Varanasi, he felt why not it should reach Vaishno Devi. Thus, keeping in mind peoples’ faith and feeling he dedicated the Vande Bharat Express to Katra for Vaishno Devi pilgrims.”
The Minister did not forget to eulogize the BJP president and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for bold steps, like abrogation of Article 370. “It’s the beginning of a new era for J&K as Home Minister Shah has dedicated the train for J&K,” Angadi said.
On the railways’ investment plans in J&K, Angadi decided to take a long-winding political route without forgetting to bash the Congress and its politics.
On being pressed further on the issue, he said, “Not only railways but other ministries too have their plans. It (the development) will be demand-oriented.”
Angadi said 40 Vande Bharat trains were in the pipeline and would soon start operating to different locations.

Thiruvananthapuram-Kasargod Semi High Speed Rail Line Proposal Clearance Received-KRDCL
Thiruvananthapuram-Kasargod Semi High Speed Rail Line Proposal Clearance Received-KRDCL
NEW DELHI/THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala Rail Development Corporation Ltd (KRDCL) has received the clearance of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for the conduct of the aerial survey of the proposed Thiruvananthapuram-Kasaragod Semi High-Speed Rail (SHSR) line.
The Ministry of Defence had already given its go-ahead for the survey by deploying helicopters, based on strict standard stipulations such as skipping photography of specified strategically significant sites and installations.
The survey marks the prelude to deciding the alignment of the ambitious project Silver Line, to be executed by KRDCL a joint venture of the State Government and the Ministry of Railways.
The exact alignment of the Silver Line will be finalised based on the Aerial survey and the boundaries for the line on both sides will be determined only with the approval of the State Government. The process of land acquisition for the greenfield project will start only after that.
The Defence Ministry’s clearance is mandatory for the survey as certain strategically significant sites fall within the ambit of the aea to be covered, said Mr Ajith Kumar.
KRDCL has chosen the Hyderabad-based Geokno India Private Ltd to carry out the survey through the bidding process. It will be completed within a week after getting off the ground. GeoKno had conducted similar surveys for Ahmedabad-Mumbai Bullet Rail Line.
The survey will yield a wide range of three-dimension images and data of the ground it covers such as Digital Elevation Model, Digital Terrain Model, Digital Surface Model, L-sections and Contour, Topographical Mapping, volumetric calculation of the river cross sections, quantity calculation of the earth works etc. These are required for the engineering design of the line.
As part of the work, helicopters installed with laser scanners and sensors will have to land at different sites across the state, for which permission will be sought from the district collectors concerned.
The work of marking the ground-points and central points for the survey has already been completed. The ground-points are being marked at a distance of every 25 km and with as much width.
The State Cabinet has given green signal for SHSR after thoroughly considering the feasibility study that has fully taken into account every minute aspect of the project including the passenger potential and financial viability.
This study, which has found that the social, economic and environmental benefits to be derived from the project are substantial, is under consideration of the Ministry of Railways. After further studies, the Detailed Project Report of the project will be drawn up.
Seen as a game-changer in Kerala’s infrastructure and economic development, SHSR is to be implemented with minimum possible land acquisition. Besides drastically cutting short the travel time, SHSR will go a long way in reducing atmospheric pollution caused by road traffic besides bringing down road mishaps.
Trains on the track, which cuts through 11 districts, will run at a speed of 200 km per hour, covering the distance between the state capital and up north Kasaragod by four hours.

Upgradation of Railway Stations
Upgradation of Railway Stations
Ministry of Railways through various agencies is undertaking techno-economic feasibility studies of Railway stations. Based on the outcome of these feasibility studies, stations are planned to be taken up for redevelopment in phases, especially the stations located in major cities, pilgrimage centres and important tourist destinations. The cost of station redevelopment project is to be met by leveraging commercial development of land and air space in and around the stations. The railway stations are taken up for redevelopment based on financial viability. Presently, work of redevelopment is in progress at Gandhinagar(Gujarat) and Habibganj(Bhopal) stations. Contracts for redevelopment have been awarded for Gomtinagar, Charbagh(Lucknow) and Puducherry stations.
The facilities proposed in a redeveloped station include congestion free non-conflicting entry/exit to the station premises, segregation of arrival/departure of passengers, adequate concourse without overcrowding, integration of both sides of the city wherever feasible, integration with other modes of transport systems e.g. Bus, Metro, etc., user friendly international signage, well illuminated circulating area and sufficient provision for drop off, pick up & parking etc.

Based
on demands raised by State Governments, Central Ministries, Members of
Parliament, other public representatives & Railways’ own requirement, the
proposals for new line projects are considered. They are taken up on the basis
of remunerativeness, last mile connectivity, missing links and alternate
routes, augmentation of congested/saturated lines, socio-economic considerations
etc. depending upon throwforward of ongoing projects, overall availability of
funds and competing demands which covers connectivity in backward & rural
areas also. Since new lines generally straddle over more than one State,
details of ongoing projects are maintained Zone-wise.
Since 2014 till date, 23 New Line Projects have been commissioned covering a
total length of 2165.49 Km. These projects have provided connectivity to large
area including rural India. Details of these New Line Projects is given as
