The Motumarri–Vishnupuram section is a railway section of the Indian Railways. The section falls under the administered of both Guntur and Secunderabad railway divisions of South Central Railway zone.

History

The project connects

Mellacheruvu and Janpahad.[3]
The route has been opened for goods traffic at present.

Further, the route can be used as a loop line in case of emergency and any problem that arises between Khammam and Secunderabad line.

Another key factor of the Motamarri–Vishnupuram line is the distance between Vijayawada to Secunderabad will be reduced by 60 km if some passenger trains ply this route.[4]

The journey duration between the two cities will be reduced to one-and-a-half hours. Some passenger trains running from Kolkata and Visakhapatnam can be diverted to this route.

The section was completed in the year 2019.[5]
