Freight income will not come from kovvur Badrachalam line as coal is supplied to VTPS vijayawada and other plants down south and to power plants in Karnataka from singareni coal fields near kothagudem. It neither helps in passenger transportation as alternative as they will lay line to kothagudem if bypass is not constructed it requires loco change. Vizag steel plant and Simhadri get coal from Mahanadi in orissa.
