Uttar Pradesh to Get 403-Km Rail Line at Cost of 14,926 Crore Rupees The Union Cabinet has approved the expansion of the Gajiyabad-Sitapur rail line, allocating funds for the construction of two additional tracks on this route. The project, valued at 14,926 crore rupees, will span approximately 403 kilometers and is expected to significantly enhance connectivity in Uttar Pradesh. This initiative is part of the Delhi-Guwahati high-density rail network, which is critical for both passenger and freight traffic. The new rail line will pass through key districts including Gajiyabad, Muradabad, Bareilly, Shahjahanpur, and Sitapur. The project aims to alleviate congestion on existing tracks by introducing parallel routes, which will reduce travel time and improve the efficiency of rail transport. The expansion is also anticipated to boost economic activity in these regions by facilitating smoother movement of goods and people. A key component of the project is the construction of six new stations along the route. These stations—New Hapur, New Muradabad, New Rampur, New Bareilly, New Shahjahanpur, and New Sitapur—will serve as critical hubs for local communities. The addition of these stations is expected to ease overcrowding at existing stations and provide better access to remote areas. The expansion will directly benefit several districts, including Gajiyabad, Hapur, Amroha, Muradabad, Rampur, Bareilly, Shahjahanpur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Hardoi, and Sitapur. Improved connectivity is projected to stimulate local economies, particularly in industrial hubs such as Gajiyabad’s machinery and electronics sector, Muradabad’s aluminum industry, and Shahjahanpur’s furniture and textile businesses. The project also holds significance for religious and tourist destinations along the route.#uttar_pradesh #union_cabinet #gajiyabad_sitapur #delhi_guwahati #new_hapur
