The project is to be implemented under 2008-2009 railways budget . State share would be Rs. 37 crore for construction. The 63 kilometer rail track is expected to cost Rs 1047 crore.
The Baddi-Chandigarh rail line is also likely to be approved.
The railway ministry is also planning to have a Shatabdi train service between Pathankot and Delhi soon.
Railway Ministry declined the upgradation of the Pathankot-Joginder Nagar line to broad gauge line citing financially unviable.
