==History==
The demand for railway connectivity to [[Chikkamagaluru]] is not new. There was demand for railway connectivity even during the time of administration of Mysuru Wodeyars.
 
As Kadur was the district centre during British rule, [[Chikkamagaluru]] was left out of railway facility. Chikkamagaluru district board had collected a Cess of {{INRConvert|5.5|l}} way back in 1926 to bring railway facility. The British government which conducted a survey on the route map, dropped the idea considering it as not economical.
 
When Indira Gandhi contested for parliament elections from [[Chikkamagaluru]] in 1978, she had for the first time assured of introducing a train on [[Kadur]]{{ndash}}[[Chikkamagaluru]]{{ndash}}[[Sakleshpur]] route. When [[H. D. Deve Gowda]] was the prime minister, he had laid the foundation stone for the railway work in 1996 and the work commenced in 1999.
 
==Improvement==
The new [[Kadur]]{{ndash}}[[Chikkamagaluru]]{{ndash}}[[Sakleshpur]] {{convert|92.2|km}} route was sanctioned in 1996–97 at an estimated amount of {{INRConvert|157|c}}. As a first phase of the work, [[Kadur]]{{ndash}}[[Chikkamagaluru]] route was selected. The work witnessed a snail's speed, due to financial constraints and delay in land acquisition process. Speed of the work was resumed in 2010 after the State Govt led by BJP leader [[B. S. Yeddyurappa]] and the Central government decided to provide fund on 50:50 ratio.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.railnews.co.in/?p=22056 |title=Railway Minister to inaugurate Kadur-Chikkamagaluru Railway line tomorrow |work=RailNews | access-date=23 November 2016}} {{dead link|date=July 2020}}</ref>
 
==Development==
The Centre has borne {{INRConvert|216|c}}, while the State has funded {{INRConvert|103|c}}. The work has been completed at a total budget of {{INRConvert|319|c}}, while {{INRConvert|652|c}} is expected for completing [[Chikkamagaluru]]{{ndash}}[[Sakleshpur]] route.
Once the phase II work is completed, it would provide direct connectivity to [[Mangaluru]].
