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

Posted on: 12/Dec/2025 1:54:46 PM

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.
