Module 01
Where each project genuinely stands — demanded, surveyed, sanctioned, tendered or actually under construction — with the document that says so.
12 of 12 projects
Sanctioned in 1997-98 to connect Angamaly with Erumeli/Sabarimala. Only about 7 km near Kalady was built before work stalled over land acquisition and cost sharing. Kerala has repeatedly offered a 50% cost share to revive it.
A third line on Kerala's most saturated section. Detailed project report prepared; sanction pending.
Doubling of the Thrissur–Guruvayur branch line to support pilgrim traffic and allow the proposed Guruvayur–Tirunavaya extension.
Sanctioned new line that would create an alternative Shoranur bypass route along the coast. Progress has been minimal due to land acquisition.
Proposed line connecting Kanhangad in Kasaragod with Kaniyur in Karnataka, giving north Kerala a direct rail link to Bengaluru.
Doubling of the Kollam–Punalur section on the Kollam–Sengottai line, taken up after the broad-gauge conversion.
A satellite coaching terminal at Nemom to decongest Thiruvananthapuram Central and allow more originating trains.
Proposed link between Nilambur in Malappuram and Nanjangud in Karnataka via Wayanad, giving Kerala a second broad-gauge corridor into Karnataka. Final location survey completed; the project has not been sanctioned owing to forest clearance and Karnataka's reluctance.
Doubling of the Palakkad Junction–Pollachi section, part of the Palakkad–Dindigul corridor. Currently single line; doubling has been demanded to improve freight and passenger throughput toward Tamil Nadu.
A bypass line to let Mangaluru-bound trains avoid reversal and congestion at Shoranur Junction. Repeatedly demanded by passenger associations; included in surveys but not sanctioned.
Long-demanded line linking Thalassery with Mysuru through Wayanad. Kerala has sought a survey; the alignment crosses ecologically sensitive stretches.
Doubling of the Thiruvananthapuram Central–Kanyakumari section, completed and commissioned in phases.
