Mumbai to Indore train travel gets a boost! Your Indian Railways train journey between Mumbai and Indore is set to get shorter with the Cabinet approving a new railway line project. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on Monday approved a new project that will ensure “shortest rail connectivity between Mumbai and Indore”.
The new railway project will come up between Indore and Manmad at a total expenditure of Rs 18,036 crore.It will cover 6 districts in the two states of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The project will increase the existing Indian Railways network by 309 kilometres and will involve the construction of 30 new railway stations as well.
The new railway line project is expected to generate direct employment of around 102 lakh man-days during its construction.
The project, a result of the PM-Gati Shakti National Master Plan for multi-modal connectivity, has been made possible through integrated planning and will ensure seamless connectivity for the movement of people, goods, and services.
The new line will improve connectivity to the aspirational district of Barwani and providing access to around 1,000 villages and a population of about 30 lakh.
According to the government’s press release, the project will boost tourism in the region by offering a shorter route between the western and south-western parts of the country and central India, increasing tourist footfall to various tourist and religious sites in the Ujjain-Indore region, including the Sri Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple.
Moreover, the project will directly connect the Pithampur Auto Cluster, which houses 90 large units and 700 small and medium industries, to the gateway port of JNPA and other state ports.
It will also provide direct connectivity to millet-producing districts in Madhya Pradesh and onion-producing districts in Maharashtra, facilitating the distribution of these commodities to northern and southern parts of the country.
The route is crucial for transporting various commodities, including agricultural products, fertilizer, containers, iron ore, steel, cement, and POL. The capacity augmentation work is expected to result in additional freight traffic of about 26 MTPA (Million Tonnes Per Annum).
