be done in phases due to the high cost, especially in hilly areas. Konkan Railway currently operates 52 passenger and 18 goods trains daily, facing capacity constraints on single-track sections.

se yeh project phases mein kiya jaayega, khaas kar hilly areas mein. Konkan Railway har din 52 passenger trains aur 18 goods trains chalati hai, aur single-track sections pe capacity ki kami hai. Doubling ki lagat flat stretches pe Rs 15-20 crore hai, lekin hilly areas mein yeh Rs 80-100 crore tak jaati hai. Initial construction ke samay kaafi land acquire kiya gaya tha, toh land acquisition ek major issue nahi hoga. Apni challenges ke saath, Konkan Railway monsoon season mein aur bhi challenges ka samna karti hai, jiske wajah se safety ke liye train ki speed kam karni padti hai aur services bhi kam karni padti hai.
