Information RVNL has come up with Palanpur-Samakhiali Doubling Line Project with a ticket size of 2781.87 INR Crores. This project in Railway Track sub-sector involves Doubling/Electrification/Maintenance of Existing Track The current status of the project is Financial Closure Achieved and is being developed through the PPP route. Economic/Social Impact of the Project Palanpur-Samakhiali is an existing broad gauge single line section on the Palanpur-Samakhiali-Gandhidham broad gauge route. This route was recently converted from meter gauge to broad gauge and after conversion, there is a double line from Samakhiali to Gandhidham. However, the Palanpur-Samakhiali section is still a single line and therefore, is a bottleneck. Since the Palanpur-Samakhiali-Gandhidham section is a feeder route of the Western Railway to the Dedicated Freight Corridor of Mumbai-Delhi, and considering the quantum of traffic on this route, it has become essential to double the Palanpur-Samakhiali section also.
