Railway Line Likely To Be Developed Between Mangalore & Hassan: Check Out

March 6: Hassan-Mangalore Rail Development Corporation (HMRDC) a joint venture of the ministry of railways and state government, is planning to make investments in 2020-21 to enhance the capacity of the rail lines in the ghat section between Sakleshapur and Subramanya stations. This is move has been planned after the budget proposal by chief minister B S Yediyurappa on Hassan-Mangalore Rail Development Corporation (HMRDC).
Affirming the announcement, a senior official of the HMRDC said that the company is aiming to become a Rs 500 crore net worth company by 2025, and will take up works related to state-of-the -art signalling in the ghat section at a cost of Rs 5 crore.
The official also mentioned that this will help reduce the block section, and will  help in optimal utilisation of the rail line and give scope for more trains.
The proposal stated that this will not only enhance the speed of the commute between Bangalore and Mangalore, but will also help start additional rail facilities.
