The Patancheruvu (Nagalapalli) – Adilabad New Railway Line is one of the important projects for which Final Location Survey (FLS) has been sanctioned. This line is likely to stretch for a distance of nearly 317 kms and cost nearly Rs. 5,706 crore.

This line is likely to connect several new and unconnected places particularly in Northern Telangana and provide rail connectivity to major towns like Ichoda, Neradigonda, Dhanur, Nirmal, Balkonda, Armoor, Bodhan, Rudrur, Nasrullabad, Banswada, Nizamsagar, Alahadurg, Sangareddy and Patancheruvu.

Railway officials said the New Railway Line is also likely to connect these new places with Hyderabad and New Delhi by providing connectivity also with the existing main line.
