Reniguntarailway yard modernisation and the installation of an Electronic Interlocking (EI) system will affect train services and goods transportation for 48 days, from November 10 to December 27, 2026.

Guntakal Senior Divisional Commercial Manager (DCM) K Satyanarayana met District Collector Dr S Venkateswar and explained the proposed works, changes to train operations and alternative arrangements for passengers and traders. The modernisation work will be carried out in three phases. During this period, 73 trains will be diverted, while 36 trains will be completely cancelled. Considering the inconvenience to passengers and goods traders, railway officials are making arrangements to provide two additional platforms to improve passenger facilities and manage train operations.

During the meeting, the senior DCM briefed the Collector on the modernisation work, changes in train movements, the impact on goods transportation and the alternative arrangements being planned.

Railway officials also held a coordination meeting with goods traders to understand their difficulties and receive suggestions regarding the proposed changes.

Railway authorities appealed to passengers and traders to cooperate with the department until the infrastructure development works are completed.
