This is the latest addition to the list of RVNL projects. (15 of 60 projects in that list involve Orissa.) It is listed as a port connectivity (PC) project. Among the various proposed ports in that area, Dhamra port is closest to be operational. This link will shorten Rupsa-Chakulia distance from 167 kms to 125 kms. More importantly it will bypass the busy Kharagpur junction and provide an alternative path to Tatanagar. It will also provide a bypass of the area that sometimes gets flooded by the Subarnarekha river.
The following map illustrates the area. (Thanks to Samit for permitting to use this map fragment from his book.)
The following is from SER’s Kharagpur division map.
