4. The existing railway line between Koraput Rayagada is a single line with speed potential upto 65 Kmph and classified as “D” category and used as the transportation corridor of goods traffic mainly minerals and mine products. The demand of goods traffic on the existing single line is increasing over a period due to increase of production of goods and minerals in the vast catchment and consequent transportation requirement. As a result, doubling of the existing line is essentially required to cater the goods traffic as the existing line is already saturated.
