MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)

(a) to (c) Poreyhat-Godda (16.50 Km) new line section is a part of Hansdiha-Godda (32 Km) new Broad Gauge rail line project sanctioned in the year 2011-2012. So far, Hansdiha-Poreyhat (15.5 Km) new line section has been completed and commissioned. Work has been taken up on the remaining Poreyhat-Godda new line section. As such, introduction of the train from Poreyhat to Godda is not feasible, at present.
