The Andhra Pradesh government has sanctioned a budget of Rs 1 billion to develop the Kotipalli‑Narsapuram railway line, aiming to improve regional connectivity.
The state cabinet of Andhra Pradesh has cleared a funding package of one billion rupees for the construction of a new railway line linking Kotipalli and Narsapuram. The allocation is part of the government's broader push to upgrade transport infrastructure in the coastal districts of the state.
The Kotipalli‑Narsapuram line is expected to shorten travel time between the two towns and provide a direct freight corridor for agricultural produce and industrial goods. Officials said the project will be executed by the state’s railway department in coordination with Indian Railways.
While the detailed project schedule has not been released, authorities indicated that the sanction will enable the commencement of civil works within the next few months. The investment is projected to generate temporary employment opportunities during construction and boost economic activity in the surrounding region.
