Hyderabad: The South Central Railway (SCR) has embarked on a redevelopment project for Kothagudem railway station, officially known as Bhadrachalam Road station, with an investment of Rs 25.4 crore.
This initiative aims to enhance the station’s infrastructure, catering to the millions of pilgrims and tourists who visit the nearby Sri Ramachandra Swamy temple in Bhadrachalam annually.
Located in the Bhadradri Kothagudem district of Telangana, Bhadrachalam Road station serves as a crucial gateway to the temple town, making it an essential stopover for devotees and travelers alike.
The station’s strategic location underscores its importance in facilitating religious tourism in the region.
The redevelopment will focus on introducing modern passenger amenities, including upgraded waiting rooms, an escalator, a lift, and improved facilities to enhance the overall travel experience.
