Angul Sukinda Railway Limited (ASRL) has been incorporated with an objective to
undertake construction and maintenance broad gauge single railway line between
Budhapankh station (Angul) and Baguapal Station (Sukinda) in Odisha for the purpose of
transporting goods.
Proposed rail line provides a shorter connectivity and would facilitate faster goods
movement. This line will be connected to Banspani - Dubri line, which is currently being
used by steel plants in Sukinda region for inbound iron ore movement from Banspani and
Barbil region.
Major beneficiaries of the proposed line would be steel plants in Angul region (transporting
iron ore from Banspani and Chromate from Sukinda), coal based thermal power plants in
Sukinda (transporting thermal coal from Talchar coal fields), many of the steel plants are
having captive power plant. Steel & power plants in Lapanga and Rengali area of Sambalpur
district (transporting iron ore from Banspani and coal from Talcher).
- It will establish a direct link between coal producing areas i.e. the Talcher Coalfields and
the coal consuming area of Daitari Industrial Complex near Sukinda Road Railway
Station.
- It will avoid the existing congested and circuitous route of the Talcher – Rajatgarh –
Kapilas Road – Jakhapur and will provide an alternative and shorter route for the coal
traffic.
The proposed line may also facilitate the transportation of iron ore, coal, bauxite from
nearby quarries to the upcoming industries in Jharsugoda Industrial Cluster and to nearby
Thermal Power Plants. The project line starts at Budhapank Station near Angul and
terminates at Baguapal Station near Sukinda.
The project area falls within the range of eastern ghat hills. The terrain is undulate, with
isolated small hills. The alignment mostly runs from West to East and the ground contour
varies from 28m to 97m.
About 70km route length of the proposed alignment falls within Dhenkanal district and the
balance length falls within Jajpur district of Orissa state.
The starting station, Budhapank is an important station on the existing Cuttack- Talcher
B.G. section of East Coast Railway which deals with the both inward and outward traffic
for Nalco.
The Terminus station, Baghuapal is on road side (nearby) station on the existing Jakapura
– Daitari section of East Coast Railway.
The important river cross the alignment at about 7km from Budhapank point of the project.
The project area is drained out by the river Brahmani mainly. The major tributaries are
Ramaila, Damsala, and Pandra nala. Some area is irrigated through Network of irrigation
canal and Rengali irrigation project is under construction. The irrigation canal crosses the
proposed alignment at different location.
N.H.200 is running almost parallel to the proposed alignment. N.H.5 is about 25km from
Sukinda on the eastern side. Express High way passes near Dubari station.
Angul district is having a major coal deposits and Talcher railway station about 9km from
Budhapank station is a nodal point for transportation of coal throughout the India by rail
route.
There are three power houses which belongs to state Govt., NTPC and there is one
commissioned power plant of M/s GMR near Brahamani River Bridge. Further, National

6. TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT
The Project section links Jakhapura-Banspani line with Cuttack-Angul-Sambalpur line. The
Project is expected to cater to iron ore traffic from Joda-Barbil region and coal traffic from
Talcher region to consumer industries in the hinterland.
An initial traffic and bankability study for the project was carried out by Price Waterhouse
Coopers in the year 2006. In order to update the traffic forecast for the Angul-Sukinda rail
link in light of the development of changed economic scenario, M/s Feedback Infra (P)
Limited, with a team comprising of experts in railway sector, were appointed as traffic
consultant to assess the traffic volume.
Based on the traffic analysis has been carried out by M/s Feedback Infra (P) Ltd, the
company with the latest available data with East Cost Railway, RVL have revised the traffic
to be assumed for undertaking traffic for the projections.
The proposed rail link is between Budhapankha station and Baghuapal station in the state
of Odisha. The map below represents the proposed project section.
6.2 Commodities identified as primary Cargo
Following are the major traffic drivers near the proposed railway line between Budhapank
and Sukinda Road Stations.
A preliminary location analysis of the project catchment area reveals that there are,
primarily, four major activity regions along with two ports that may have an impact on the
project stretch traffic. These include:
• Talcher coal fields and surrounding activity
• Banspani-Barbil Iron Ore mines and surrounding activity
• Steel Plants in proximity to Sukinda
• Power & Steel Plants in and around Angul
• Dhamra and Paradeep Ports
a) Coal Movement
o Talcher to Sambalpur/Jharsuguda
o Talcher to Sukinda
o Talcher to Banspani-Barbil
o Talcher to Dhamra
For assessment of potential traffic for the project line, the Consultants have adopted a
‘location & distance’ centric approach towards traffic calculation. The process, broadly,
comprises of assessing the potential traffic for the project stretch based upon a detailed
location and distance analysis of existing and upcoming traffic drivers in the region.
It also includes a comparative analysis with other rail lines in the region, expected to be in
direct competition with the project line to establish the effective catchment of the rail line
and eventually lead to a realistic assessment of traffic.
Traffic on the project line will, primarily, comprise of input resources and outputs of various
Iron & Steel and Thermal Power Plants in the region.
As per traffic analysis conducted earlier, RTCs (rail traffic controllers) have been granted to
about 24 plants, in the region, by the Zonal Railway for loading and unloading of goods in
the vicinity of stations.
All such plants having influence on the project stretch was analyzed based on their annual
capacity, traffic movement and current status of the plant. Analysis was carried out by traffic
consultants to establish the most feasible route for commodity movement for each of these
plants. This has finally led to identification of traffic streams that are likely to get diverted,
from other competing routes in the region, to the project line. As a result of this, traffic to or
from the following plants is likely to use the subject rail line for movement of commodities:
Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) is setting up a 6 MTPA integrated steel plant with
captive power plant of capacity 1142 MW at Kerejanga (District Angul) in Odisha. The
project would be executed in three phases. In phase 1, the steel plant will commence
operation with 1.5 MTPA steel production capacity followed by capacity addition of 4.5
MTPA in phase 2. The company also has plans to add another 3 MTPA steel production
capacity in phase 3. The company has further plans to increase the capacity from 9 MT to
12.5 MTPA in due course.
On completion of project, it would require substantial amount of raw material including Iron
Ore, Coal, Coke, Limestone, etc. The finished steel products are expected to be transported
for domestic consumption to destination in Eastern, Southern, Western, Northern and
Central India
The rail-relevant traffic streams (along with the expected capacity for each stream) for the
said industry are as follows:

As per the information available in public domain, some of the investment firms, steel
players have shown interest in buying stake of Bhushan steel. However, the company will
have to proceed further based on the resolution plan to be proposed by Interim Resolution
Professional already appointed by NCLT.
As per the traffic assumptions provided by the company, 15% traffic out of the total traffic is
envisaged from Bhushan Steel. Without taking into account the traffic assumed from
Bhushan Steel, the overall DSCR works out to 1.60 indicating adequacy of debt
serviceability.
6.6 Jindal Stainless Limited
Jindal Stainless Limited, has its manufacturing facility located at Kalinganagar. The plant
has current production capacity of 1.6 Million tones. Iron ore requirement is met by
Banspani area and coke is imported via Paradip port. The plant comprises of 250,000 tons

Tata is currently sourcing its Coal for Barkakhana coal fields where they have their own
captive mines.
In near future plant envisage to source its coal from Talcher Coal Fields. The coal will be
transported through the proposed project line. Thus, consultants have taken the Coal traffic
in their optimistic scenario, which is as follow:
There is an outward movement of about 28 rakes per day from MCL. The company plans to
upgrade the rail loading capacity to 60 rakes per day by installing silos. Out of the 28
outward rakes, approximately 14 are being transported to Paradip (11) and Dhamra (2~3)
Ports for coastal shipping to various parts of India.
Some of the important coastal shipping destinations are Mundra and Tuticorin. The
difference in movement to both the ports is primarily because unlike Paradip Port, Dhamra
Port does not have the facility to work with the bottom discharge BOBRN- Bogie Open
Bottom Rapid Discharge (railway wagon) that result in faster unloading of wagons.

6.9 CONNECTIVITY
The traffic consultant has carried out a detailed study about movement of various
commodities and following are observations:
• Coal Movement:
Considering, the fact this movement is in the opposite direction to the project stretch,
these plants may not influence the traffic on the project stretch.
o Talcher to Sukinda: Coal movement from Talcher to Sukinda is for Maithan Ispat
(Jakhapura), Jindal Stainless Ltd (Jakhapura), VISA Industries (Jakhapura) and
Tata Steel (Kalinganagar). The consultants expect significant portion of this traffic
to move on the project line.
o Talcher to Banspani-Barbil: Talcher to Banspani movement feeds to the coal
requirement of various Iron & Steel Plants located in the Iron Ore belt. These include
Uttam Galva Steels (Porjanpur), Odisha Sponge Iron Ltd (Porjanpur), Patnaik Steels
& Alloys Ltd (Nayagarh). The shortest route for this movement is Talcher-Sukinda-
Banspani and, therefore, this traffic is expected to move on the project stretch.
o Talcher to Dhamra: Movement of Coal from Mahanadi Coal Fields, Talcher for power
houses in Southern and Western India via coastal shipping takes place through
Dhamra port and Paradip Port. Presently this traffic is moving to Paradip and
Dhamra port via via Rajatgarh, Cuttack, however the rail link from Talcher to
Dhamra port via the proposed project line will be shorter by 32 Kms. Thus, this coal
traffic from Talcher for Dhamra port is expected to move on the project line.
• Banspani-Barbil to Sukinda: It involve movement of Iron Ore to steel plants in and around
Sukinda. Considering that the movement is outside the immediate catchment of the
project line, it is unlikely that this will have any impact on the project traffic.
o Angul to Paradeep Port, Sukinda to Dhamra Port & Banspani to Dhamra Port: All
the three Origin Destination pairs involves movement which are not aligned with the
project line. The consultants, therefore, do not expect any influence to project stretch
traffic.
o Angul to Dhamra Port: It involve shipment relating to export of finished iron & steel
products originating at various steel plants in Angul region. Since it is a feasible
route, the consultants expect significant portion of this traffic to move on the project
line.
Proposed Angul Sukinda new railway line connects Banspani-Daitari line (which caters to
export iron ore traffic from Joda-Barbil region and Import traffic from Dhamra and Paradip
Ports) with Cuttack-Sambalpur line (which caters to coal traffic from Talcher region
destinaed to various parts of the country by coastal shipping via Paradip Port).
Apart from coal traffic destined to Paradip port, Angul Sukinda line becomes the shortest
route for iron ore traffic from Joda-Barbil region and coal traffic from Talcher region. Hence
no competing facility may affect the estimated traffic on the Project line.
6.11 Infrastructure Capacity Analysis
According to Ministry of Coal, the state of Odisha has coal reserves of 71,447 Million Tons
which includes 25,547 MT of proved reserves, 36,465 Tons of indicated reserves. The state’s
coal reserves are divided mainly between two regions viz. IB valley and Talcher coalfields.
According to Geological Survey of India, Talcher coalfields accounts for more than 60% of
Odisha’s coal reserves.
Apart from catering to primary hinterland consumers in Sukinda and Joda-Barbil region,
proposed project will cater to the demand from various thermal power plants being
developed across the country (through coastal shipping from Paradip and Dhamra ports)
According to Odisha mining department, the state accounts for 32% Iron ore, 24% coal, 59%
Bauxite and 98% Chromite of India's total deposits. Odisha’s iron ore is known for high
quality iron content.
Due to various initiatives taken by State Government, many national and international
corporates have shown interest to setup manufacturing steel plants in Angul-Sukinda
region. Proposed Angul-Sukinda railway line will cater to incoming traffic (Iron ore) apart
from Outgoing traffic (finished goods) destinaed to various parts of India, especially the
Eastern region which includes Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand and North-Eastern states.
Proposed Project line is expected to cater to the coal traffic destined to various parts of the
country via Coastal shipping from Dhamra port. Dhamra port is a 50:50 Joint Venture
between Larsen & Toubro and TATA steel. Known as one of the deep draft ports in the
country, the port started commercial operations in May 2011. Currently the port has two
fully mechanized berths of 350 meters each along with backup facilities for handling imports
of coking coal, steam/thermal coal, limestone and export of iron ore. The company also
constructed 62 kilometers rail link from Dhamra to Bhadrak to provide evacuation by
railway mode.
The master plan of the Port envisages 15 berths, capable of handling more than 100 Million
Tons per annum of dry bulk, liquid bulk, break bulk, containerized and general cargo,
making Dhamra one of the largest ports in the country. Proposed Angul Sukinda project line
is expected to cater the growing coal demand (thermal coal meant for coastal shipping and
imported coking for steel industries) through Dhamra port
Paradip port is one of the major ports under Central government catering mainly to
mineral and industrial traffic. The port’s hinterland extends to the states of Odisha,
Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. Currently the port is
undertaking various capacity expansion projects in order to accommodate larger vessels and
to cater to increasing demand from consumers. Major ongoing/proposed infrastructure
projects of the port include:
▪ Deepening of existing entrance and approach Channel to handle 1,25,000 DWT vessels
▪ Development of Deep draught Iron Ore berth on BOT basis of 10 MTPA Capacity
▪ Development of Deep Draught Coal Berth on BOT basis of 10 MTPA Capacity
▪ Development of Multipurpose berth to handle clean cargo including Containers on BOT
basis with 5MTPA capacity
▪ Mechanization of general cargo berths
