For the Jeypore – Malkangiri project stretching over 130 km, it would bear 25% of the total cost whereas it would bear entire land cost and 50% cost of construction for the Jeypore – Nabarangpur project.Odisha Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik said: “Odisha occupies an important place on the map of Indian Railways. The rail connectivity in Odisha is way less than the national average and I am glad that this government has given priority for improving the rail connectivity in Odisha.
