Indian Railways has opened 118 kilometres of new railway lines in Madhya Pradesh as part of the Lalitpur‑Singrauli project.
Indian Railways officially opened 118 km of new railway tracks in Madhya Pradesh today, marking the completion of the first phase of the Lalitpur‑Singrauli project. The newly commissioned stretch connects the Lalitpur district with the coal‑rich Singrauli region, enhancing the state’s rail network.
The addition is expected to improve both passenger and freight movement, particularly facilitating the transport of coal and other goods from Singrauli’s mines to broader markets. Officials anticipate reduced travel times and increased economic activity in the surrounding districts.
A senior railway official said the project aligns with the government’s push to upgrade infrastructure in central India. Further extensions are planned to link the line with existing routes, aiming for seamless connectivity across the region.
