The Union Cabinet has approved a Rs 10,021 crore package of five railway projects, including a 110-km multi-tracking line between Secunderabad (Ghatkesar) and Kazipet. The project aims to ease congestion and enhance passenger and freight movement on one of Telangana’s busiest corridors, with completion targeted by 2029-30.
The largest increase in MSP is for rapeseed and mustard, which saw a rise of Rs 300 per quintal, followed by lentil (masur) with an increase of Rs 275 per quintal. Other increases include Rs 210 per quintal for gram, Rs 150 for wheat, Rs 140 for safflower, and Rs 130 for barley, as reported by the CCEA.
Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw said the proposals of multi-tracking will ease operations and reduce congestion, providing much-required infrastructure development on the busiest sections across the Indian railway.
