Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, and the Union Cabinet for approving ₹1,332 crore for the Tirupati-Katpadi railway line doubling project.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Mr. Naidu said the transformative initiative would connect sacred landmarks such as Tirupati Balaji temple, Srikalahasti Siva temple, and the Chandragiri Fort, while enhancing access to educational and medical hubs such as Vellore and Tirupati.
“It will boost the agricultural economy and accelerate the growth of electronics, cement, and steel industries in Andhra Pradesh. For Chittoor and Tirupati districts, this line will mark a new era of connectivity and progress,” he said.
