Konkan Rail Corporation Ltd set to float tender for Vizhinjam tunnel rail connectivity in July
Thiruvananthapuram: The long-awaited tunnel rail connection project between Balaramapuram railway station and Vizhinjam International Seaport is set to move ahead this July. The Konkan Rail Corporation Ltd (KRCL) is preparing to float a tender for detailed design and construction. According to sources within KRCL, tender issuance is expected once the draft document receives final clearance from Vizhinjam International Seaport Ltd (VISL), the state-owned port authority overseeing the project. The project will be executed under an engineering, procurement & construction (EPC) model. Once the tender opens, it is expected to follow a three-month window to select the contractor. The winning bidder will then have another three months to complete the final design. Construction is scheduled to begin in Jan 2026, said an official familiar with the plan. Ahead of this, land acquisition efforts are progressing. At Balaramapuram end, VISL is set to take possession of acquired land by the end of July. Meanwhile, on Vizhinjam side land acquisition is pending, as the authorities need to conduct a crucial meeting involving local fishermen and church representatives, who have expressed concerns about the tunnel's construction. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Pelajari Undo An official close to the project said, "We will initiate talks with fishermen's representatives soon to address their concerns and ensure all community apprehensions are resolved before possession of land." At present, 19 families reside in the affected area at Vizhinjam. The compensation of Rs 190 crore delivered by VISL is being dispersed by the district administration to landowners. Further disbursements are underway following the formal takeover of the site. In Balaramapuram, the existing station will be relocated approximately 600m south to make way for a container yard and approach tracks linking to the tunnel. Meanwhile, the VISL is planning to set up a container rail terminal (CRT) near Neyyattinkara railway station. However, nothing has been finalised yet, and discussions are ongoing between the govt and Southern Railways. The railway tunnel is a key component of state govt's efforts to boost connectivity to the Vizhinjam deep-water port. Spanning 10.7km, of which 9.4km will run underground, the tunnel will enable direct freight rail access between the port and the railway network. This alignment has been chosen to minimise land acquisition, environmental disruption, and community displacement. The tunnel will be constructed using the new Austrian tunnelling method (NATM), with a depth ranging from 25 to 30m below ground level. Freight trains are expected to complete the passage through the tunnel in about 36 minutes, at speeds ranging from 15 to 30 km/h. The state cabinet granted administrative approval for the project in March 2025, with the revised estimated cost pegged at Rs 1,482.92 crore. Environmental clearance for the project was granted in July 2024. Once completed, the tunnel will be one of the longest railway tunnels in India and is expected to significantly improve cargo handling efficiency at Vizhinjam port. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2028.

Council might have to spend £65,000 on every single one of its homes
Council might have to spend £65,000 on every single one of its homes It's an estimate at this stage but upgrading the housing stock won't be cheap Council flats at Swansea's Griffith John Street, where significant investment is planned (Image: Wales Online ) Swansea Council may have to spend an average of £65,000 on every one one of its houses, flats and bungalows to meet a new housing standard, a meeting heard. Cllr Andrea Lewis, deputy leader of the authority, said that without additional Welsh Government money it will be "difficult if not impossible" to achieve. Swansea is one of several councils which have retained their housing stock, and it has previously spent more than £500 million years to comply with a Wales-wide quality standard for social housing. This resulted in things like new kitchens, bathrooms, boilers and insulation upgrades for its homes, improving life for tenants. A new housing quality standard has been developed by the Welsh Government, which includes high energy efficiency ratings coupled with minimal environmental impacts. The idea is to decarbonise social housing - reducing Wales' greenhouse gas emissions - by further upgrading insulation, adding solar panels and replacing gas boilers with heat pumps, for example. The Welsh Government said social housing would be comfortable, affordable to heat and safe as a result. Never miss a Swansea story by signing up to our newsletter here A report before the council's cabinet said every property will need a report capturing their existing energy efficiency rating, called a targeted energy pathway. These targeted energy pathways will help shape which upgrades are needed. Cllr Lewis said achieving the new standard was now estimated to cost the authority £900 million. Given that there are just over 13,800 council flats, houses and bungalows, this works out roughly as £65,000 per property, although some will need more work than others. Article continues below Energy efficient council bungalows in West Cross (Image: Richard Youle ) Four years ago, a council report estimated that decarbonising the housing stock could cost around £350 million - a year later another council report put it at £750 million. "Essentially we support the Welsh Government's ambition to improve the quality of our (housing) stock in terms of energy efficiency for the benefit of our tenants, but without additional further funding this will be difficult if not impossible to carry out," said Cllr Lewis. Cabinet went on to approve a policy setting out how it intended to meet and monitor the new housing standard, which it will submit to the Welsh Government, at the June 26 meeting. The council will need to produce the targeted energy pathways for properties by the end of March 2027, and ensure all homes meet a certain energy efficiency standard - the equivalent of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) C rating - three years later. EPC ratings go from A, the highest, to G, the lowest. Full compliance with the housing standard is 2034, and by then the council's stock needs to meet a higher environmental target - the equivalent of an EPC A rating. Councils use tenants' rents, borrowed money and Welsh Government grants to upgrade their housing, not council tax. Council leader Rob Stewart said it aimed to meet the new standard but that he didn't think any local authority would be able to do so without external help. Cardiff Council has estimated it would cost £866 million to achieve it. There is also the question of finding enough skilled contractors to carry out the work. The Welsh Government said Swansea Council was allocated £14 million last year to help repair, upgrade and retrofit its properties, and that its grants alone were never intended to fund full compliance with the standard. It said it has offered to support the social housing sector investigate market solutions. Article continues below It added: "Last year, we committed a record £256 million on improving the quality of social homes in Wales, including their energy efficiency, through a mixture of grants and low interest loans available to local authorities and social landlords."
