Railways Approves Rs 757 Cr Fourth Line Between Tambaram & Chengalpattu
The Tambaram–Chengalpattu section, part of the Chennai Beach–Villupuram–Tiruchirappalli–Kanyakumari corridor, currently operates with three lines, catering to a mix of suburban, express, and freight trains. Heavy traffic on this route has led to frequent congestion, affecting punctuality and capacity expansion.
With current capacity utilisation at 87%, and projected to rise to 136%, the new fourth line will significantly improve suburban train operations, reduce delays, and promote a modal shift from road to rail, benefiting both passenger and freight traffic across southern districts.
