South Eastern Railway is working on a plan to reduce the heavy crowd and train pressure at Tatanagar station. To solve this, Adityapur and Govindpur stations will be developed as satellite terminals. These changes will help trains move more smoothly and reduce traffic on the main lines.
What are the new developments at Govindpur and Adityapur?
The railway department has approved a new block station at Govindpur with an estimated cost of 47 crore rupees. This project includes the laying of two new loop lines. Additionally, three new stabling lines will be built at Adityapur and two at the Tata Marshalling Yard, costing around 50 crore rupees. These lines will help in parking and managing trains better.
When will these projects be completed?
General improvements in train operations at Tatanagar are expected to start from 2027. The new block station at Govindpur is likely to be ready by 2027-28. The stabling lines at Adityapur and the Marshalling Yard are targeted for completion by 2027. Also, the third line from Sini to Adityapur is expected to be finished by October 2026.
