Mysore–Bangalore line (officiallyMysuru–Bengaluru line) is a fully electrified double line fromMysore Junction toBangalore City.

Background

[edit]

The line extends fromMysore Junction toBangalore City falling mostly underBangalore railway division and a few stretches underMysore railway division within the limits ofSouth Western Railway zone atBangalore City.[3][4][5]

Construction

[edit]

Since the rail network inBritish India was entirely private affairs. The erstwhileKingdom of Mysore establishedMysore State Railway for improving rail connectivity, right after the commissioning ofMadras Royapuram–Bangalore City railway line in 1879.[6] Though managingMysore State Railway was an expensive affair,Chamarajendra Wadiyar X decided to lay a new rail fromBangalore toMysore in 1870, and shelved the project soon.[7] Again he dusted the project and initiated the construction in 1877–1878. The 56 kilometres (35 mi) stretch between Bangalore–Channapatna was completed on 1 February 1881, the 37 kilometres (23 mi) Channapatna–Mandya stretch on 20 March 1881 and the final 45 kilometres (28 mi) Mandya–Mysore stretch was completed and the entire stretch thrown open to traffic on 25 February 1882.[8][9] The line currently has a maximum operating speed of 100 km/h (62 mph).[10] Talks are going on to increase the speed from 100 km/h (62 mph) to 130 km/h (81 mph) in order to facilitate semi high speed trains like Vande Bharat express which will reduce the time taken between the 2 cities to less than 100 minutes, but with high amount of gradients and high degree curve the construction of new railway line is a possibility.

The project to convert the Bangalore–Mysore metre gauge to broad gauge is approved in 1979–80.[11]

Development

[edit]

Sanctioned in 2009–2010, the railways took up thestate's demand fordoubling as wellelectrification at an estimated cost of505 crore (US$60 million) which was later revised to526.31 crore (US$62 million) and finally escalated to874.75 crore (US$100 million). Land acquisition of about 160 acres (65 ha), especially 25 acres (10 ha) near Mandya alone have been done as part ofdouble line and improving stations between Ramanagaram andMysore Junction.[12]

The electrification of the line had been completed and was inaugurated byPrime MinisterNarendra Modi on 20 February 2018.[13]
