Wardha–Yavatmal–Nanded line is an under-construction railway project based in Maharashtra, India. The railway line would facilitate the transport between Wardha to Nanded via Yavatmal. The Ministry of Railways, Government of India has given the project a "special project" status. The railway line would operate on a geographical area of 284 kilometers.[1][2]

History[edit]

Land acquisition[edit]

The length of the line is 284 km and it needs 722 hectares of land. The Government of Maharashtra has approved the acquisition of 722 hectares of land. Around 90% of the land required for the Wardha–Yavatmal–Nanded broad-gauge railway line has been acquired and now Government of Maharashtra will request the Ministry of Railways to start the tender process. [3] Land acquisition was completed in 2018.[4]

Construction[edit]

Tender for all patches were granted in Feb 2019 and construction is already underway on several patches. 77 km Wardha–Yavatmal section was granted to the Construction Organisation of Central Railway zone, and 207 km Yavatmal–Nanded section was granted to Rail Vikas Nigam (RVNL). As of Feb 2019, earth works, all bridges (2 major bridges on Yashoda river and Bhindi River and 26 minor bridges), and at least 54 railway under bridge (RuB) have been completed. There will be six tunnels totalling 9.8 km, most challenging being a 2.5 km tunnel through a hillock behind Yavatmal Airport. Contracts for all station buildings have been awarded by Feb 2019 and construction has commenced.[5]

Initial work on Yavatmal new railway station started. It will be constructed behind Z.P school Arni road Yavatmal. [6]

Cost[edit]

Revised total project cost is of 284 km new line project is INR3168.29 crores.[5] According to 2019–20 Pink Book, allocation for that financial year was INR350 crore, since the construction work is already underway and this should help complete a few sections faster.[7]

Route[edit]

Following stations have been planned on the route (partial list, please help expand between Yavatmal to Nanded):[5]

Scope[edit]

The railway line would operate in six tehsils and 90 villages in Wardha, Yavatmal, Washim, Hingoli and Nanded district of Maharashtra, India.[8] When the line is commissioned it will provide direct connectivity between Nagpur and other districts in Vidarbha region and Marathwada region.
