Hon’ble Minister of Railways Approved the Project of Miraj Chord Line at Cost of ₹128.78 Crores

In a major step towards enhancing rail connectivity and freight movement efficiency, the Hon’ble Minister of Railways, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, has approved the sanction of the Miraj Chord Line (1.73 km) project under Central Railway at an estimated cost of ₹128.78 crores.

This strategic initiative, proposed under the umbrella of Multi tracking/Flyover/Bypass Line Capacity Augmentation, aims to significantly ease train operations at Miraj Junction, a key interchange point connecting routes such as Miraj–Pune, Miraj–Kolhapur, Miraj–Pandharpur, and Miraj–Londa.

Currently, trains arriving from Kurduwadi or Hubballi and heading towards Kolhapur experience an average detention time of 120 minutes due to engine or brakevan reversal at Miraj. The proposed chord line will remove these operational delays, thereby improving network efficiency.

This is a significant step forward in strengthening the railway infrastructure in Western Maharashtra and will pave the way for more efficient goods and passenger train operations in the region. This fulfils long standing demand of Passenger for speedier travel from Miraj to Kolhapur.
