South Coast Railway commissioned the double-line section between Nandyal and Gazulapalli
Visakhapatnam: In a major improvement to regional rail connectivity and freight logistics, South Coast Railway successfully commissioned the 15.121-km-long double-line section between Nandyal and Gazulapalli on November 6. Authorised for train operations at a permissible speed of 100 kmph, the newly doubled section marks an important milestone in the ongoing Guntur–Guntakal doubling project.
The statutory inspection and speed authorisation for the section were carried out by the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) on November 3, South Coast Railway officials informed.
As part of the project, 6 new loop lines and 3 new high-level passenger platforms facilitated. 18 bridges, comprising 1 major bridge and 17 minor bridges along with modernised station buildings constructed at Gazulapalli and Nandipalli.
Dedicated new goods loading and unloading platform facilitated at Nandipalli.
The commissioning of the Nandyal–Gazulapalli section eliminates a critical bottleneck along the route. It significantly enhances line capacity, improves operational flexibility for train operations, and bolsters both passenger convenience and freight throughput across the Guntur–Guntakal corridor.
