Kolkata: Ministry of Railways (#RailwayBoard) has sanctioned the work for two new Railway projects of South Eastern Railway.

3rd line between Nimpura Reception Yard & Kharagpur Jn.

This 3rd line project of 6.41 Km will be constructed at a cost of ₹157.86 crore. Kharagpur-Nimpura Reception Yard is situated on Howrah-Mumbai & Howrah-Chennai high density network route.

With completion of 3rd line between Nimpura Reception Yard and Kharagpur Junction, the total Adityapur-Kharagpur 3rd line project will be completed. This will reduce the detention of goods trains coming from Gokulpur & Adra and speed up the goods traffic.

Kalaikunda-Nimpura West Outer-Gokulpur connectivity (avoiding Nimpura Reception Yard)

This new line project of 12.33 Km will be constructed at a cost of ₹224.44 crore. The proposed project is in the vicinity of Kharagpur station which is an important station situated on Howrah-Mumbai & Howrah-Chennai high density network route.

With completion of this connectivity between Kalaikunda-Nimpura West Outer-Gokulpur, the current capacity of the section will increase and thereby it will ensure seamless movement of trains.
