The status of railway projects in Karnataka reflects steady and measurable progress when viewed with updated facts. SWR is actively advancing the implementation of KAVACH 4.0 across 3,692 RKM, with contracts already awarded for 1,568 RKM, while earlier Kavach 3.2 had been implemented over 132 km in SCR. In terms of new railway lines, out of 1,158 km of ongoing projects, 317 km has already been commissioned and overall progress has reached 39%, with works continuing at a steady pace. Similarly, under track doubling, out of 1,898 km sanctioned, 563 km has been completed and the remaining stretches are under active execution. Karnataka continues to receive consistent investment, with allocations of ₹7,564 crore for FY 2025–26 and ₹7,748 crore for FY 2026–27. Regarding the proposed Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal at Raichur, no formal proposal has been received so far; however, it will be considered favourably once submitted by freight stakeholders. Efforts are also ongoing to improve passenger amenities, with SWR regularly augmenting general coaches wherever operationally feasible to benefit common commuters. The demand for a Kalaburagi Railway Division does not fall under the jurisdiction of SWR. Infrastructure development is progressing on priority, with Amrit Bharat station works at Raichur and Yadgir being executed at a fast pace, with sanctioned costs of ₹40.36 crore and ₹42.92 crore respectively. Train connectivity in the region remains robust, with 24 services operating between Bengaluru and Raichur, including 7 daily trains, and 5 daily plus 6 non-daily services between Raichur and Hyderabad, adequately catering to current demand. Additionally, safety infrastructure is being strengthened, with 123 Road Under Bridges under construction between Sindhanur and Raichur. Overall, railway projects across Karnataka are progressing in a structured and phased manner, with visible outcomes across multiple sectors.

The railway project execution has been painfully slow as 👉 Kavach 3.2 was launched 8 years ago; but it is deployed only in two percent of the routes. 👉 700 kilometers of new railway lines were announced; over 50 percent of them are still incomplete. 👉2600 kilometers of track doubling was announced; over 80 percent of the work remains unfulfilled. Karnataka receives only 7,500 crores annually, while the other states like Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat receive over 10,000 crores. I urge the government to 👉 Establish a Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal (GCT) in Raichur to give industrial growth in this region. 👉 Increase low-cost passenger coaches and improve safety for millions of common commuters, thereby revising the right policy to provide affordable transport for farmers and MSMEs. 👉 Ensure due consideration for Karnataka, particularly backward districts of Kalyan-Karnataka, and establish Kalaburagi Railway Division. 👉 Ensure expedition of the Amrit Bharat station works at Raichur and Yadagir stations. 👉 New fast passenger train between Gulbarga and Bengaluru, and a daily train service between Raichur and Hyderabad. 👉 Road under-bridges must be constructed at all crossings along the new railway track between Manvi and Raichur. : @IamGKumarNaik ji in Lok Sabha
