4) At its highest point, the tracks would be at 5,360 metres above sea level higher than all World’s Highest Railways till date

5) It is comparable only to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Line in China, which is at a height of around 2,000 metres above sea level.

6) There would be 30 stations on the new line taking Railways closer to India-China border in Ladakh.

7) The important locations to be connected en route between Bilaspur and Leh are Sundernagar, Mandi, Kullu, Naggar, Manali, Keylong, Koksar, Darcha, Upshi and Karu in the states of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.

8) This line is expected to help the armed forces, boost tourism and give a major push to development in Ladakh region.

9) If the Railways’ proposal of it declaring a National project is accepted by the government, the Centre would be providing most of the funds making the job easier.

10) Of total 465 km length, 52 per cent would go through tunnels, the longest of which would be 27 km long. Total length of the tunnels would be 244 km.

11) According to the first phase of the survey, the railway line will have 74 tunnels, 124 major bridges and 396 minor bridges.

12) The railway line connecting Bilaspur with Leh would emerge from Bhanu Palli railway station on the Anandpur Sahib route. It is a rugged terrain in an area that is prone to landslides. Oxygen level reduces at this altitude and temperature drops to sub-zero levels.

13) According to Chief Administrative Officer (Construction) of Northern Railway Alok Kumar, the Bilaspur-Sundernagar-Mandi-Kullu-Naggar-Kullu-Manali-Leh rail line project is more difficult than the one undertaken by the department in Jammu and Kashmir previously.

14) The final location survey is being undertaken at a cost of Rs 457.72 crore, he said. It would be completed in three phases – digital evaluation of elevation model, selection of path for better alignment and geographical survey for bridges and tunnels.

15) When complete, trains on Bilaspur-Sundernagar-Naggar-Manali-Leh line would run at a speed of 75 kmph.

16) It will reduce the distance between Delhi to Leh from the present 40 hours to 20 hours.

17) BJP MP from Leh Thupstan Chhewang had written a letter to the Minister of Railways seeking the Laddakh railway project to be accorded the status of a National Project.

18) The 51-km stretch between Upshi and Leh has a gentle gradient compared to the rest of the project. It is likely to take two years for completion with an estimated cost of Rs 5,000 crore.

19) Indian Railways is building rail line to Leh along India-China border

20) About 52 per cent of journey would be covered through tunnels

21) Indian Railways is moving fast to connect Ladakh with New Delhi through rail lines by expediting work on the strategically significant Bilaspur-Manali-Leh broad-gauge rail line. The location survey of the first phase is complete. The final location survey is expected to be completed in 30 months after which a detailed project report will be finalised.

22) Railways has proposed it to be declared a national project. It is the most difficult project undertaken by the railways till date given the terrain over which the tracks have to be laid. Railways has suggested that construction on a 51 kilometre stretch between Upshi in Himachal Pradesh and Phe in Leh should begin immediately.

23) Railways to reach China border in Ladakh with world’s highest rail lines

24) Once complete, the Bilaspur-Manali-Leh rail line will reduce travel time between New Delhi and Ladakh from 40 hours to 20 hours.

25) Will include India’s first underground railway station in Keylong. The proposed alignment passes through the Shivaliks, Himalayas and the Zanskar range and four mountain passess – Rohtang La, Barlacha La, Lachung La and Tangla La.

26) The railways wants the strategic line, to be completed by 2022, along the Indo-China border to be declared a national project. The railways is also seeking the help of the US for satellite imagery to survey the route and will also use the Lidar method for an understanding of the geology of the entire route.

27) “We can start construction to showcase Indian Railway’s presence in the valley. The railway line will provide relief for locals as well as Army personnel living there,” said Alok Kumar, who is overseeing the project.

28) The line will connect Sundernagar, Mandi, Manali, Keylong, Koksar, Darcha, Upshi and Karu and other important towns of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir enroute.

29) The railway line’s elevation will begin from Bilaspur at a height of 500 metre and culminate in Leh at an elevation of 3,215 metre.

30) The highest road point (Tanglangla Pass) enroute at 5,360 meters will be the highest of any railway in the world. Over 50% of the line will be underground with 27-km long tunnel near Manali.

31) Currently, the final location survey of 465-km line is on and considering the difficult terrain, it will take at least two years to complete it, after which the project will be sent for approval.

32) The railway has sought Central funding for 51-km stretch between Upshi and Leh. Lok Sabha MP Thupstan Chhewang also wrote to Railway minister Piyush Goyal on September 6 demanding the project to be declared as national project.

33) “The line is strategically important and will provide all-weather surface connectivity to far-flung areas of Ladakh region.

34) It will also boost tourist inflow, which will be beneficial for local population.

35) Travel time will reduce by half, the rail project will be executed in a way that it need not close during extreme weather,” said Desh Ratan, chief engineer of the project.

36) Railways has proposed that its strategically significant railway line along the Indo-China border, which will be the world’s highest railway track, be declared a national project, officials said.

37) The advantage of a project being declared a national project is that a major chunk of the funding for the project is borne by the central government.

38) “The first phase of the survey for the project has been completed and initial estimates put the cost of the 465 km line at Rs 83,360 crore.

39) This is the most difficult project undertaken by the railways and is one of five most significant projects in terms of strategic importance.

40) This project will lead to the development of the region,” said General Manager, Northern Railway, Vishesh Chaube.

41) It was in September that Thupstan Chhewang, the BJP MP from Leh, had written a letter to the Minister of Railways to seek national project status for the project.

Bilaspur-Leh rail line survey is completed, the work will start soon,.Jammu will be connected by the railway line to Himachal’s stations , which includes Bilaspur, Sundernagar, Naggar, Mandi, Manali, Keylong, Koksar, Darchha and Jamshedpur and Karsu of Jammu and Kashmir.

Survey To Commence At Leh

Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu will inaugurate the work for the final location survey on June 27.

The total expected length of Bilaspur–Mandi–Leh line is almost 500 km (310 miles). It would become the highest railway track in the world, overtaking the current record of China’s Qinghai–Tibet Railway. The Railway Budget 2011-2012 announced that the project would be taken up in the next year’s budget. The next year’s Railway Budget announced that the project was sent to the Planning Commission for appraisal. As of September 2016, Northern Railways has begun the process of acquiring land for setting up office in Leh.

History The Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh asked the Government of India to extend railway connectivity from Bilaspur to Leh through Mandi, Manali and Keylong. This would increase tourism in Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh and facilitate quicker movement of troops and equipment. Following an examination of the feasibility report for the proposed Bilaspur–Mandi–Leh line, the Union Railway Ministry of India forwarded the recommendation to the Planning Commission of India for its approval.[8] The survey for the project had been done and presently it is seeking approval of the planning commission of India and while railway minister assured about early clearance of this project.

Strategic importance Once this railway line is completed, Leh will be directly connected to Himachal Pradesh and the rest of India by railway. The distance between Bilaspur and Leh will be about 500 km (310 mi). When the railway lines to Bilaspur and then to Leh are completed, the time taken to reach Leh from Delhi will be reduced to less than two days compared to about four days by the existing highway from Manali. Personnel and equipment will be transported more easily to Leh, a strategic military base. This is one of the four important railway connectivity along China border identified by the Defence Ministry.

Uncertainty due to paucity of funds The Bhanupalli (Punjab) to Bilaspur rail link is currently under construction but hardly any funds have been allocated and almost no progress was made as of 2013. There has been a demand to lay the railway line to Bilaspur from Kalka railhead instead of laying it from Bhanupalli. Therefore, the alignment and the fate of the proposed railway line to Leh is very uncertain. The railways are short of funds to the extent of more than four hundred billion rupees for the existing projects in hand as of 2013.

Indian Railways has estimated that the entire project is estimate to cost INR 22,318 Crore.

Current Status

Survey To Commence At Leh

Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu will inaugurate the work for the final location survey on June 27.

In December 2016, Government of India had 73 roads being constructed along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China and has identified 14 strategic border area railway line projects. The following four – will be taken up as the priority basis as the first phase: Bilaspur Manali-Leh (498 km) section of Pathankot-Leh strategic raillway along the Himachal-J&K border, Missamari-Tenga-Tawang (378 km) along Bhutan-Arunachal border, North Lakhimpur-Bame-Silapathar (249 km) along Assam-Arunachal border, and Murkongselek-Pasighat-Tezu-Rupai (227 km) along Assam-Arunachal border. The 498 km Bilaspur-Manali-Leh rail project has been expedited and the Final Location Survey (FLS) for this has been undertaken at a cost of Rs 345 crore. The railway had requested the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Leh (LAHDC) to provide adequate land for setting up a camp office, and the required infrastructure.[11] IN April 2017, Government said that the Final location Suervey (FSL) for these will be completed by the October 2020.[12]

In addition to the above 4 lines commenced in 2016, two more strategic lines were approved in May 2017 for construction: Dehradun-Uttarkashi and Rishikesh-Karan-Prayag-Chamoli under religious tourism to connect Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath in Uttrakhand.

The remaining 8 strategic railway projects are: Patti-Ferozpur[13] in Punjab, Jodhpur-Jaisalmer doubling of the existing line in Rajasthan, Tanakpur-Bageshwar[14] in Uttrakhand. Jammu-Akhnoor-Poonch[15] in K&K along line-of-control, Chattargarh-Hanumangargh-Motigarh-Anupgargh-Bikaner[16] from Sirsa in Haryana to along Rajasthan border, Tanakpur-Joljibi[17] in Uttrakhand to China border, Jodhpur-Phulsund[18] in Rajasthan, Srinagar-Kargil-Leh[19] along line of control in J&K.[20]

Taglangla station Edit Taglang La Pass

Taglangla station at Taglang La is expected to become the highest railway station in the world at 5,359 m (17,582 ft) above the sea level overtaking the current record of Tanggula Railway Station in China at 5,086 m (16,686 ft).

Challenge After Jammu–Baramulla line, Bilaspur–Mandi–Leh line will be the most challenging railway project in Indian Railways due to high mountains, a large number of tunnels and high bridges and severe cold weather.[original research?] According to the survey report, cost of construction of this 498 km (309 mi) long all weather broad gauge railway line has been calculated at Rs 22,831 crore with a negative rate of return of 4.46%.[21] However, it is uncertain when the construction would start, if at all.
