Indian Railways has approved the Final Location Survey for a new 191-kilometer railway line connecting Rewari in Haryana to Jaipur in Rajasthan. This project will pass through Neemrana and aims to reduce the heavy traffic pressure on the existing Jaipur-Delhi route. The Ministry of Railways has sanctioned ₹5.73 crore for the execution of this survey.
What is the proposed route and its benefits?
The new rail line will connect Rewari to Jaipur via Neemrana, Behror, Kotputli, and Shahpura. This route is approximately 31 km shorter than the current 223 km path via Alwar. Once completed, it will reduce travel time for passengers and make the movement of goods faster and cheaper.
How will this project impact industries and trade?
The project focuses on providing direct rail connectivity to major industrial hubs. Key areas that will benefit include the Neemrana Industrial Area and the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. This connectivity will help manufacturing industries and the export sector by lowering transportation costs and boosting regional employment.
