Indian Railways is working on several projects to improve connectivity between Haryana and Rajasthan. One of the major projects is the 215 km rail line between Rewari and Phulera. This project will make travel easier for passengers and pilgrims visiting Khatu Shyamji and Salasar Balaji.
What are the details of the Rewari-Phulera project?
The project covers a total distance of 215 km with an estimated cost of 2208 crore rupees. It will be completed in two main stages to ensure smooth execution.
- First Phase: Doubling of the track from Rewari to Narnaul (51 km). More than 80% of the work is already finished with a budget of 665.72 crore rupees.
- Second Phase: A new rail line from Narnaul to Phulera (164 km). This work will start after the first phase is complete, with a proposed budget of 1542.38 crore rupees.
How will this new line benefit passengers and business?
This new route will reduce the travel distance by about 70 km and lower the pressure on the busy Delhi-Jaipur route. It will help local traders and farmers move their goods to bigger markets more quickly.
Apart from the Phulera line, other projects are also in the pipeline to boost connectivity in the region:
| Project Route | Distance | Current Status |
|---|---|---|
| Rewari to Jaipur via Neemrana | 191 km | Final Location Survey (FLS) approved |
