Developments

In 2012, a proposal was put forth to construct a new BG railway line covering a distance of 125 km from Almatti to Koppal, via Kudulsangama, Hungund, Ilkal, and Kushtagi. The project's estimated cost was 904.05 Cr, with a return on investment of +12.01% for the Ministry of Railways. However, in 2016, the Ministry of Railways abandoned the proposal, citing the need for infrastructural improvements and the doubling of the Hotgi-Kudgi-Gadag railway line to handle the coal supply traffic to the Kudgi Super Thermal Power Plant.
