The Union Cabinet approved the 3rd & 4th railway lines on the Renigunta-Arakkonam section, with 46 km in AP covering Tirupati & Chittoor districts, at a cost of ₹1,157 crore.

This will mean faster passenger movement, smoother operations, stronger freight connectivity and new possibilities for growth. For Andhra Pradesh, the Arakkonam-Renigunta 3rd & 4th Line is particularly significant. It will strengthen connectivity to Tirupati and the Rayalaseema region, ease congestion and give a major boost to tourism, trade, logistics and regional development,” posted the Jana Sena leader.
“Across Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Telangana, these projects will connect 17 districts, 2,121 villages and nearly 52 lakh people, while creating additional freight capacity of 47 MTPA. Every new track is more than infrastructure. It connects people to opportunity, businesses to markets and communities to a faster, stronger future. Stronger Railways. Stronger Connectivity.
