Chennai–Cuddalore Rail Line via Puducherry Stalled: New Update Explained — See the Full Video

The proposed 178 km Chennai–Cuddalore rail line via Puducherry has been put on hold after the Puducherry Government declined the extra costs for route changes and track-doubling near Villupuram. With no cost-sharing agreement in place, Railway surveys remain incomplete, stalling the project.

If revived, the high-speed line could enable 160 kmph travel, reducing Chennai–Puducherry travel time to just 2 hours and easing heavy congestion along the ECR.
