Indian Railways has sanctioned a ₹299‑crore project to modernise the Visakhapatnam Coaching Yard, enabling it to handle a larger number of trains and improve operational efficiency.
Indian Railways has approved a ₹299‑crore investment to upgrade the Visakhapatnam Coaching Yard in Andhra Pradesh. The project aims to expand the yard’s capacity and modernise its infrastructure, allowing it to accommodate a greater number of passenger and freight coaches.
The upgrade will involve the construction of new tracks, improved signalling systems, and enhanced maintenance facilities. Officials say the modernised yard will reduce turnaround times and improve the reliability of services on the East Coast Railway network.
The project is expected to be completed within the next 18 months, with construction work already underway. The upgrade is part of a broader effort by Indian Railways to increase capacity and efficiency across key junctions and yards nationwide.
