Which projects were approved in the Bundi region?

| Route/Location | Project Type | Budget |

How will the ROB at Gate No. 45 help locals?
Commuters at Gate No. 45 on the Kota-Chittorgarh line often faced long delays, sometimes waiting for half an hour. This area is particularly crowded because of the nearby agricultural produce market (Krishi Upaj Mandi), where hundreds of tractor-trolleys and transport vehicles move daily. The new bridge will remove this bottleneck and ensure smoother movement for farmers and residents.
What is the current status of these projects?
Financial approval for these projects was officially granted on April 25, 2026. The Railway Administration has already prepared the proposal for the problematic crossing at Gate No. 45. These developments will lead to safer rail traffic and eliminate the daily struggle of vehicles getting stuck at railway gates.
