Hyderabad: South Central Railway ne Hyderabad ke pehle Outer Ring Rail system ka alignment finalize kar diya hai, jo mulk ka pehla circular rail corridor hoga. Yeh 392 km lamba corridor Telangana ke 8 zilon aur 14 mandalon se guzrega, jisme 26 naye railway stations banaye jayenge. Is project ki estimated cost ₹12,070 crore rakhi gayi hai.
Yeh naya rail corridor Medak, Sangareddy, Vikarabad, Ranga Reddy, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri, aur Siddipet se guzrega. Is route mein Alair, Valigonda, Gullaguda, Masaipet, aur Gajwel jaise aham stations shamil hain.
Pehle yeh project 508 km lamba propose kiya gaya tha, lekin alignment options ko review karne ke baad Union Ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw aur G. Kishan Reddy ne 392.02 km ka shortest alignment approve kiya, jo growth corridors ke kareeb hai. Officials ke mutabiq, is nayi alignment se accessibility aur development potential dono maintain kiya gaya hai.
Yeh Outer Ring Rail corridor zyada tar Hyderabad ke 361-km ke Regional Ring Road (RRR) ke parallel chalega, jahan dono ke darmiyan faasla sirf 3 se 5 km hoga. Do jagahon par yeh faasla 11 km tak chala jayega. Plan ke mutabiq, 6 jagahon par Rail-over-Rail (RoR) flyovers bhi banaye jayenge—Masaipet, Gullaguda, Burgula, Valigonda, Wangapalli, aur Gajwel mein—jahan naya elevated track purane tracks ke upar se guzrega.
Ab jab route lock ho chuka hai, South Central Railway Detailed Project Report (DPR) tayar kar raha hai jo Railway Board ko approval ke liye bheji jayegi.
