- Pune-Nashik railway connectivity is set to improve with the approval of the Daund-Manmad railway line doubling project.
- Surveys for three new railway projects have been sanctioned, including a new double line from Nashik to Sainagar Shirdi and Pune to Ahilyanagar.
- The proposed Pune-Nashik direct railway line faces challenges due to its alignment passing through the site of the GMRT observatory in Narayangaon.
- Currently, two railway routes connect Pune and Nashik, but they are not efficient in reducing travel times.
- Railway projects are sanctioned based on factors like traffic projections, last-mile connectivity, socio-economic benefits, congestion relief, and funding availability.
- The sanctioned and proposed railway projects aim to improve accessibility, economic integration, reduce congestion, boost tourism, and support regional development.
- The ongoing efforts in enhancing railway connectivity in Maharashtra promise to bring significant upgrades to the state’s infrastructure and improve the quality of life for residents and travelers.
