Kerala Rail Development Corporation (K-Rail's) Board has approved the Detailed Project Report (DPR) and alignment for the proposed ₹639.4 billion Thiruvananthapuram-Kasaragod Semi High Speed Rail corridor. The DPR has been sent to the state Government for approval, following which, it will go to the Ministry of Railways, Niti Aayog and to the Central Cabinet for mandatory approvals. The DPR was prepared by Paris-based Systra for the corridor which proposes to construct railway lines between Thiruvananthapuram and Tirur as a GreenField Corridor and also between Tirur and Kasaragod as a parallel to the existing Railway alignment. According to State sources, the dream SHSR project called Silverline, will spur the economic and social development of the state and will enable running of trains at a speed of 200 km per hour.. As per the DPR, the alignment of the corridor is the same as that was approved earlier as part of the feasibility report, except for some minor modifications of 10 to 50 meters to avoid religious/heritage structures. The 530.6 km Standard Gauge 1435 mm line is expected to be completed by 2025.
