The Nagpur–Hyderabad line is a railway line connecting Nagpur and Hyderabad. A major portion of this 581-kilometre long (361 mi) track, from Nagpur to Kazipet, is part of the Delhi-Chennai line. It is also part of the Delhi-Hyderabad line. The line is under the jurisdiction of Central Railway and South-Central Railway.

History

With the completion of the Kazipet-Ballarshah link in 1929, Chennai was directly linked to Delhi.^[1]

The Wadi-Secunderabad line was built in 1874 with financing by the Nizam of Hyderabad. It later became part of Nizam’s Guaranteed State Railway. In 1889, the main line of the Nizam’s Guaranteed State Railway was extended to Vijayawada, then known as Bezwada.^[2]

As of 1909, "From Wadi on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, the Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway runs east to Warangal and then south-east towards Bezwada on the East Coast section of the Madras Railway."^[3]

Electrification

The Kazipet-Ramagundam sector was electrified in 1987-88, the Ramagundam-Balharshah-Nagpur sector in 1988-89, the Kazipet-Secunderabad sector in 1991-93 and Majri-Rajpur sector in 1994-95.^[4]

Speed limits

The Delhi-Chennai Central line (Grand Trunk route) is classified as a "Group A" line which can take speeds up to 160 km/h.^[5]

The Wadi-Secunderabad-Kazipet line is classified as "Group B" line and can take speeds up to 130 km/h.^[6]

Passenger movement

Nagpur and Secunderabad, on this line, are amongst the top hundred booking stations of Indian Railway.^[7]
