In this regard, the CAO (Con.), South Central Railway has brought out the following points on Nadikudi Srikalahasti Survey:-

Survey has been carried out many times considering the alignment passing through Piduguralla(exg) (Take off point), Nakarikallu, Rompicherla, Savalyapuram(exg), Vinukonda(exg.), Gundlakamma(exg.), Dekanakonda, Darsi, Podile, Goutuvaripalle, Obulayapalli, Venkatapuram, Gilakapalem, Rapur, Alturupadu & joining at Venkatagiri (Existing station on Renigunta-Guduru section).

The existing lines between Nadikude-Piduguralla (21.15 Km); Savalyapuram Gunklakamma (23.01 km); Venkatagiri Srikalahasti (24 km) is made use of in the proposed alignment having a new line length of 308.70 Km.

In this regard, the CAO (Con.), South Central Railway has brought out the following points on Nadikudi Srikalahasti Survey:-

Survey has been carried out many times considering the alignment passing through Piduguralla(exg) (Take off point), Nakarikallu, Rompicherla, Savalyapuram(exg), Vinukonda(exg.), Gundlakamma(exg.), Dekanakonda, Darsi, Podile, Goutuvaripalle, Obulayapalli, Venkatapuram, Gilakapalem, Rapur, Alturupadu & joining at Venkatagiri (Existing station on Renigunta-Guduru section).

The existing lines between Nadikude-Piduguralla (21.15 Km); Savalyapuram Gunklakamma (23.01 km); Venkatagiri Srikalahasti (24 km) is made use of in the proposed alignment having a new line length of 308.70 Km.
