The three‑kilometre Tihi tunnel on the Indore‑Dahod line has had its tracks installed, and a safety audit will now be conducted before the remaining 47 km of track is finished by month‑end.
The Indore‑Dahod railway project has reached a key milestone with the completion of track laying inside the three‑kilometre Tihi tunnel. This work marks the first major phase of the tunnel’s construction and prepares the line for forthcoming operational checks.
Authorities now plan to carry out a comprehensive safety audit of the tunnel and its newly installed tracks. The audit will verify structural integrity, signalling systems and compliance with railway safety standards before any train services are introduced.
Following the audit, the project team aims to finish laying the remaining 47 kilometres of rail from Tihi to Dhar by the end of the current month. Completion of this stretch will significantly shorten travel time between Indore and Dahod, enhancing regional connectivity.
The progress is being closely monitored by the Indian Railways and state officials, who view the line as a strategic addition to Madhya Pradesh’s transport infrastructure, potentially boosting trade and passenger movement in the region.
