South western railways floats Rs 368 crore tender for pending projects
South Western Railway (SWR) has invited bids for two crucial railway lines pending for over a decade. The bids are for a section each of the Tumakuru-Davangere and Tumakuru-Rayadurga lines.
The tender for Davangere broad gauge line comprises several works, including the construction of a railway station, platforms, subways, and related works, on a 13.8-km stretch between Urukere and Timmarajanahalli. The estimated value of the project is Rs 98.39 crore. The tumakuru-Koratagere (30.2 km) section of the Rayadurga line is estimated to cost Rs 270.31 crore. The works include electrification, signaling, and telecommunication.
The 191-km Davangere line was approved in 2011-12, and the Rayadurga line goes further back to 2007-08. Both projects have been pending due to delays in the land acquisition process.
