PM Modi to virtually inaugurate Charlapalli railway terminal in H’bad
PM Modi to virtually open the Charlapalli Railway Terminal in Hyderabad on the 6th of January 2025.
India’s metro and railway infrastructure is evolving and expanding on all levels quickly at a large scale. In terms of metro networks, India is now ranked 3rd in the world, with China and the United States topping the list. On 5th January, 2025, Prime minister Narenda Modi took the lead in the inauguration of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor. The newly constructed terminal station at Charlapalli in the Indian state of Telangana will be virtually opened by PM Modi on the 6th Of January 2025. The new Jammu rail division will be opened on the same day and also, PM Modi will lay the foundation stone for the Rayagada railway division building of East Coast Railway.
Expansion of India’s Metro Network
The Indian metro rail has expanded its total network across over 1,000 kilometers. This development was accomplished by adding the newly established 13-kilometer section of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor. Now, more passengers will have access to modern and efficient transportation in significantly less time. The vision of PM Modi has revolutionized urban mobility for the millions, ensuring that they are able to travel faster, safely and most importantly: reliably. In terms of driverless metros and certain other projects, including the Kochi Water Metro, India is raising standards in urban mobility.
Launches scheduled for 6 January
On January 6, 2025, three important projects to be virtually inaugurated by PM Modi –
Railway Terminal In Charlapalli Hyderabad
The new terminal in Charlapalli, situated in the Medchal-Malkajgiri district of Telangana, has been developed with an outlay of ₹413 crore and is expected to ease space constraints for the existing Secunderabad, Hyderabad and Kacheguda railway terminals. As the terminal can accommodate 25 pairs of trains, it will certainly enhance the efficiency of train operations in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The terminal is of a modern design and contains all the features of a professional facility including a large circulating space, vehicle parking of all sorts and a dedicated bus parking area.
Union minister G Kishan Reddy shared the beautiful pictures of the project, stating that the Charlapalli terminal is equipped with world-class facilities and will play a key role in decongesting the Hyderabad, Secunderabad, and Kacheguda railway stations.

New Jammu Railway Division
The new Jammu Railway division will be especially crucial for the railway development of the Jammu & Kashmir valley. It extends from Pathankot through Jammu, Udhampur to Srinagar, and it also includes a line to Baramulla with a total length of 742.1 kilometers. This will help the people of this region in fulfilling their longstanding requirement for improved means of transportation; this will also help in tourism growth, employment generation, and better social infrastructure.
Rayagada Railway Division Building
Furthermore, Modi will also announce the laying of the foundation stone of the Rayagada Railway Division Building in Odisha, in an attempt to strengthen the railway connection between Andhra Pradesh and Odisha to boost growth in the region.
Advantages of These Projects
There are various advantages of the railway projects, as described below:
- Increased Efficiency: Rail networks will enable increased movement of people and goods between the different cities.
- Reduced Congestion at Terminals: As Hyderabad becomes busier, the Charlapalli terminal will reduce the congestion presently existing at the other busy terminals.
- Increased Revenue from Tourism: Tourism will be stimulated with the enhancement of facilities at Jammu and Rayagada.
- Rising Economy: There will be jobs created and possibilities of increased business in the area.
- More Convenience to Passengers: Advanced and new terminals will enhance comfort to passengers as the facilities will be international standard.
Effect on Urban and Regional Growth
With various new terminals, including Charlapalli, spread around Hyderabad, the terminal congestion around the customer hubs will ease. Passengers will find it easier to access Hyderabad’s major terminals with the expansion of the new terminals and other existing ones. Likewise, the Jammu Rail Division will increase India’s northern railway communication and make more parts of Jammu and Kashmir available. In addition, the Rayagada Railway Division Building will enhance the connectivity of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, thereby expanding the regional economy.
Conclusion
The virtual launching events of PM Modi on January 6, 2025, will also set a considerable point in the future date of Indian railway and metro operations. All these projects form part of the government’s vision of modern infrastructure building, extending communications and economic support. The Regional Economic Communities are set to benefit from the construction of the Charlapalli Railway Terminal, the construction of new Jammu Railway Division, and the construction of Rayagada Railway Division Building
