The Gwalior Indore Manmad line is a railway route on the Western Railway, West Central Railway & North Central Railway section of Indian Railways. CRS inspection of RE work of Maksi Ruthiyai and Guna Gwalior has been done in Jul 2020. Now this route is fully electrified from Indore, Dewas, Maksi, Shajapur, Biyavra Rajgarh (BRRG), Ruthiyai, Guna, Shivpuri and Gwalior. This Gwalior, Guna, Ruthiyai, Maksi, Dewas, Indore Single Electrified Rail Line will be a connecting rail line for Indore Manmad Rail Line Project[1](under Central Railway, Bhusawal Division) and will boost the economical development in Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh. The Indore Manmad Railway Line project covers 6 Districts in 2 States i.e., Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh will increase the existing network of Indian Railways by about 309 km.

With this project 30 New Stations will be constructed, providing enhancing connectivity to Aspirational District Barwani. New Line project will provide connectivity to approx. 1,000 villages and about 30 Lakh population.

Project will promote tourism in the region by providing shorter route between Western/ South-Western part of the country with Central India. This will increase the tourist footfall to various tourist/ religious places of Ujjain – Indore region including Sri Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple.[2]

This corridor has consisted of rivers and plateaus. The route of this line is via Guna, Ruthiyai, Maksi & Dewas to Indore with bypassing Kunu Valley.

History

[edit]
  • In 1899, The 119.7 kilometres (74.4 mi) long Gwalior–Shivpuri line was opened by Schindia State railway as a light rail. Later it was transferred to Gwalior Light Railway.[3] The light rail line used to run via Kampoo, Panihar, Ghatigaon, Mohana, Mansapoorah, Satanwara, Shivpuri, Kolaras & Badarwas. The line was converted to Broad gauge in 1997-1999 period & the alignment got changed between Mohana & Shivpuri. Old stations of Mansapoorah & Satanwara got abandoned & Mudkhera Karsana, Nayagaon & Khajuri got connected by rail. The new route is 124.2 kilometres (77.2 mi) now & is a single electrified line.
  • In 1932, 68.9 kilometres (42.8 mi)long Agar–Ujjain section was opened by Gwalior light railways.[4] But constant losses up to 1997 made Ujjain-Agar Line getting abandoned & scrapped by 1999.

Main line & branches

[edit]

Mainline of Indore–Gwalior Corridor is 516 kilometres (321 mi) long. This line has four branches alongside the main route. The first branch line is double electrified line from Bina Junction to Guna Junction with the Length of 118.80 kilometres (73.82 mi).[5] The second branch line is double electrified line from Ruthiyai Junction to Kota Junction with the length of 164.2 kilometres (102.0 mi).[6] The third branch line is the double electrified line from Bhopal Junction to Nagda Junction with the length of 240 kilometres (150 mi).[7] The fourth branch line is the double electrified line from Ujjain Junction to Dewas Junction with the length of 41.3 kilometres (25.7 mi).

There is a construction of the new line from Ramganj Mandi Junction to Bhopal Junction via Jhalawar, Aklera, Biyavra Rajgarh, Parbatigarh, Sant Hirdaramnagar which situates on Mainline of Indore–Gwalior corridor with the length of 333 kilometres (207 mi) which is a boom for reducing traffic for Nagda–Maksi–Bhopal line and Kota–Bina line for transportation to Southern states and eastern states of India.[8] Doubling of the Indore-Gwalior Line is going on now after electrification was completed in 2021. Currently Indore to Dewas & Ruthiyayi to Guna is double line with Dewas-Maksi, Maksi-Shajapur, & Guna-Gwalior sections being made double line.
