The railway tracks have already been laid. To complete the remaining work, the railway has taken a block from December 15th to 30th. All the work on the 27km long new line between Barlai and Indore needs to be completed within 16 days. Since the block started on Friday, railway officials have been working at a fast pace. Several trains have been affected due to the block. Some trains have been cancelled, and some are being operated via the Fatehabad route. The Indore-Bilaspur-Indore Express, which departs from Indore, will be operated from Ujjain. The Kota-Indore-Kota train will be operated from Maksi. A dozen trains will operate via the Fatehabad route. After the completion of the work, the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) will inspect the newly laid track between Indore and Barlai. Once the CRS approves the track, train operations will begin on the new route. After the completion of the doubling work, trains will no longer need to cross each other.
