The Anuppur-Katni 3rd Rail Line Project, spanning 165.5 kilometers, has taken a significant stride towards completion. A crucial 101-kilometer stretch of the line has been commissioned, bringing the region closer to reaping the benefits of this vital infrastructure development.

Boosting Coal Transportation
One of the primary objectives of this project is to enhance coal transportation from Chhattisgarh, a major coal-producing state. The new rail line will provide a more efficient route for transporting coal to various parts of the country, particularly to industries in the northern and western regions. This will not only support economic growth but also contribute to energy security.
