The project is likely to be completed in the next three years during 12th and 13th Plan period. Multiple lines on this railway line will greatly ease the ever increasing freight traffic between these sections thereby increasing the revenue of Railways.
Angul, Dhenkanal and Cuttack districts of Odisha will be benefitted through this project.
Background:
Budhapank junction is located on Sambalpur-Angul-Cuttack section and Salegaon on Angul-Nergundi section and the existing line is catering to the originating traffic from Mahanadi Coal Fields to the Paradip and Vishakhapatnam ports and siding traffic originating from/to the several power plants and other coal based industries in the area.
