The state is well connected through the rail network.
Visakhapatnam, the largest city in the state, has rail
accessibility to nine district headquarters out of 13 in the
new state.
The city is also well connected to the neighbouring states of

Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
The state is also planning to form a separate railway zone,
namely South Coast Railway, with Vizag as its headquarter.
The Union Government has also planned to develop metro

rail projects at three locations in the state, including
Visakhapatnam, Guntur and Vijayawada.
The Visakhapatnam project, estimated to cost US$ 833.3
million, will develop four important routes that are not well
connected currently.
Rail network across the state
Vizag is proposed to be the headquarter of the zone as the

region houses major industrial as well as commercial
establishments and is a busy railway junction in terms of
passenger and freight traffic.
The new zone will consist of Waltair Division of the East
Coast Railway (ECoR) as well as Vijayawada, Guntur and
Guntakal divisions of South Central Railway.
The government has also planned to set up a high speed

train between Hyderabad and the new capital city to ease
traffic movement between the two states.

infrastructure and land use on the basis of zoning, clean and energy efficient technology,
necessary social infrastructure and skill development facilities.
They are expected to attract investment of around US$ 10 million and would have an
employment potential of 0.3 million each.
Two new NIMZs
The state government is planning to set up the new capital for the state between
Vijayawada and Guntur, which will be based on the draft master plan by International

Minister oversees the progress of the scheme.
