Status of the Bareilly-Aligarh and Sitapur projects
The Rail Vikas Nigam Limited is involved in the doubling of the 167.74 km broad gauge line between Bareilly, Chandausi, and Aligarh. This project is divided into phases to streamline traffic and reduce delays for passengers traveling across these major hubs. Additionally, the doubling survey for the 212.3 km Sitapur-Mailani-Pilibhit-Bareilly section has also received clearance. These tracks will help in managing the heavy traffic flow and will ensure that passenger trains are not delayed for freight movement.
Upcoming maintenance hub and regional connectivity
| Project Name | Length | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Bhojipura Bypass Line | 14 km | Better connectivity for Sainthal-Deorania |
| Bhira to Mailani | 16 km | Gauge conversion survey approved |
| New Washing Line | 26 Coach | Vande Bharat maintenance at Bareilly |
| Rosa-Moradabad Section | 3rd/4th Line | Capacity for faster train operations |
The Railway Ministry has approved 9.74 crore for a new washing line at Bareilly Junction to support Vande Bharat and Vande Sleeper trains. This facility will establish Bareilly as a major maintenance hub in North India, potentially leading to new train services to Mumbai and South India. The introduction of the Kavach safety system and additional lines in the Moradabad division will further improve the safety and speed of train operations in the region.
