Plea to quadruple Duvvada-Nidadavolu railway line
There are many projects that are coming up in this region including Petrochemical Complexes in the Kakinada region, a Multi Modal Logistics Park (MMLP) in Duvvada-Anakapalli area and a bulk drug park near Anakapalli area. There are also crude oil refineries in the region. The establishment of the fourth railway line between Duvvada-Nidadavole, can function as a dedicated freight corridor enabling faster and economical transportation of goods. It has tremendous potential to emerge as a better alternative to transportation of goods by road as it will be cheaper and faster than road transport.
The fourth railway line will also improve the cargo handling capability of Vijayawada Division, thereby increasing its revenue. Bhaskara Rao requested the railways to grant the necessary funds for expediting the development of the new railway line between Duvvada and Nidadavole.
