Hyderabad-Chennai bullet train project has undergone a major route change, with Telangana’s share of the high-speed corridor reportedly shrinking from 236km to 123km.
The revised route will now pass through the state’s planned Future City and Dry Port projects, replacing the earlier proposed route through Batasingaram, Narketpally, Suryapet and Khammam.
New Route
According to Deccan Chronicle, the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), which is developing India’s ambitious bullet train network, has informed the Telangana government about the revised route and the shortening of the project length in the state.
Under the original proposal, the Hyderabad-Chennai bullet train was expected to cover 236km in Telangana and was to require nearly 790 hectares of land. The revised route reduces the length within Telangana to 123km.
The new route now is planned to run from Shamshabad through Future City, the proposed Dry Port, Halia and Vadapalli before entering Andhra Pradesh.
