Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI BANDARU DATTATRAYA)

(a) & (b): A survey for new BG line from Biyawara Rajgarh -Sironj - Bina was conducted in 1999. As per the survey report, cost of construction of this 147 km long line has been assessed as Rs.224.75 crores with a negative rate of return. In view of grossly unremunerative nature of the project and acute constraint of resources, it has not been found feasible to consider the project.
