The foundation stone for the expansion & development of Mysuru railway station and Naganahalli was laid by the Honourable Prime Minister of India on 20-6-2022.
The project has been fast tracked under the Central Government’s PM Gati Shakti.
Development of Mysuru railway station under Gati Shakti
The proposed plan of the railways assumes great significance considering that the current railway yard at Mysuru is saturated, resulting in constrained operations. So, to realise the full benefits of track doubling between Mysuru & Bengaluru the end terminals need to have adequate berthing infrastructure. Not having enough berthing space is one of the main reasons why trains bound to Mysuru and Bengaluru junctions end up waiting for the platform long outside and also limiting the addition of new services.
The expansion at the city railway station is planned to be taken up by relocating the railway staff quarters located adjacent to the yard.
