The Andhra Pradesh government has given administrative approval for a ₹100 crore project to develop the Kotipalli‑Narsapuram railway line.
The state government of Andhra Pradesh has granted an administrative sanction of ₹100 crore to fund the construction of a new railway line linking Kotipalli and Narsapuram. The approval, announced through an official circular, clears the financial hurdle for the project and signals the government's commitment to expanding regional rail connectivity.
The Kotipalli‑Narsapuram stretch is expected to improve transport links for passengers and freight in the coastal districts, facilitating smoother movement of agricultural produce and industrial goods. Local officials anticipate that the line will reduce travel time between the two towns and stimulate economic activity in surrounding villages.
With the sanction in place, the next phase involves inviting tenders for civil works, track laying and related infrastructure. The railway department has indicated that detailed project reports will be finalised shortly, after which construction is slated to commence in the coming months.
