PM to inaugurate Sanathnagar, Moula Ali rail line doubling today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Sanathnagar – Moula-Ali railway line doubling and electrification along with six new station buildings and flag off of the new MMTS train service in the new suburban section between Ghatkesar – Lingampalli (via Moula-Ali – Sanathnagar) on Tuesday at a function to be held at Sangareddy.
The doubling and electrification of the Sanathnagar – Moula-Ali section has been completed as part of the MMTS (Multi-Modal Transport Service) Phase – II project. The entire 22 route km of the project has been constructed with an automatic signaling system for Rs 343 crore. As part of it, six new station buildings will come up at Ferozguda, Suchitra Centre, Bhudevinagar, Ammuguda, Neredmet and Moula Ali Housing Board stations. Doubling and electrification of Sanathnagar – Moula Ali paves the way for the introduction of passenger trains for the first time in this section. It will reduce the burden on the highly saturated Secunderabad – Moula Ali and Secunderabad – Lingampalli sections. It will also help in reducing the detention of trains; and improve punctuality and average speed of the trains.
Earlier, the Sanathnagar-Moula Ali section was a single line open to only freight trains. Now, not only has the section been doubled and electrified but the whole section is being opened to handle passenger traffic as well.  All the newly opened MMTS stations have been provided with modern passenger amenities, high-level platforms, foot over-bridges and platform shelters. The six stations are Ferozguda, Suchitra Centre, Bhudevinagar, Ammuguda, Neredmet and Moula Ali HB Colony.
