New Delhi, May 17 (IBNS): The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the construction of double line with electrification between Phephana-Indara and Mau-Shahganj (excluding Indara-Mau) totaling 150 km approximately in Uttar Pradesh.

The respective length of the Phephana-Indara and Mau-Shahganj lines will be 50.53 km and 99.75 km, read a government statement.


The estimated cost of the Project will be Rs.1028.95 crore with expected completion cost of Rs.1190.98 crore.


The project is likely to be completed in next five years.

The doubling of these lines will remove the pressure over the congested North Central Railway route by providing an alternative route.


Also, more number of goods/passenger trains could be run after doubling.

It will lead to economic prosperity and development of the areas.
