Indian Railways Approves Rs 976 Crore Project to Expand Bihar Rail Lines
Indian Railways has approved a Rs 976 crore project to add third and fourth railway lines between Danapur and Fatuha in Bihar, aiming to decongest the busy Patna rail corridor on the Delhi-Howrah route. The project includes new lines between Danapur-Patna, Rajendra Nagar-Patna Saheb, and Patna Saheb-Fatuha. It is expected to enable 22 additional passenger and 18 freight trains daily, increasing freight capacity by 5.2 million tonnes annually and supporting regional economic development.
