Panposh Railway Station Redevelopment to Boost Rourkela’s Connectivity and Infrastructure

The Panposh railway station is set for redevelopment as an outer station for Rourkela, enhancing connectivity and decongesting the city’s main railway hub, Rourkela Junction.


The proposal, backed by Ramesh Agarwal, a member of the Zonal Railway Users’ Consultative Committee (ZRUCC), is under consideration by South Eastern Railway (SER).

A crucial part of this plan is the proposed Lathikata-Kalunga freight railway line, which aims to reroute freight trains, freeing up capacity for passenger services at Rourkela Junction. This would enable more trains to originate from Panposh, mirroring the successful Adityapur-Tatanagar station model in Jharkhand.

Boost to Tourism and Regional Development

Panposh serves as a key entry point to Rourkela and is located near the revered Vedvyas Dham, a significant religious and heritage site. To enhance tourism, the Odisha government has proposed a ₹60 crore suspension bridge linking Vedvyas Dham to Panposh, further boosting the area’s accessibility.

Major Infrastructure Projects for Rourkela

On Rourkela Day, Odisha’s Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan announced multiple infrastructure projects, including:

  • A ₹35 crore suspension bridge at Vedvyas Heritage site

  • A four-lane road connecting Rourkela to Jaleswar

  • A 100-km ring road around Rourkela to reduce congestion and improve transit

Under the Rourkela Smart City Limited (RSCL) initiative, additional projects include:

  • A stormwater drainage system for flood-prone areas

  • Refurbishment of the city’s bus terminal

  • Conversion of an old TISCO quarry into a recreational hub

  • Development of the ‘Rourkela One’ initiative, featuring an integrated command and control center and a tribal museum, set for completion by June

Efforts are also underway to organize street vendors, with dedicated markets planned for 400+ sellers. These transformative initiatives mark a major step toward modernizing Rourkela, improving urban mobility, tourism, and economic growth.
