Lucknow Orbital Railway Corridor: A Game Changer for Real Estate Growth
Introduction
The Lucknow Orbital Railway Corridor Corridor is a proposed 170-kilometre circular railway line around the city. Designed by Northern Railway’s Lucknow Division, the corridor will connect seven major routes radiating from the city, aiming to decongest central stations like Charbagh and Aishbagh. This ambitious project is poised to redefine both transportation and real estate in and around Lucknow.
Key Features of the Lucknow Railway Corridor
The corridor will link major railway lines such as Kanpur, Sitapur, Barabanki, Rae Bareli, Sultanpur, and Moradabad. It will also include a new greenfield terminal with over 20 platforms and a logistics park near the Agra Expressway. The project is expected to cost around ₹7,500 crore, with the feasibility study and DPR already underway. Completion is expected by 2031.
How Lucknow Railway Corridor Benefits the City
The corridor is designed to divert non-terminating trains away from the city, reducing traffic at overcrowded stations. It will improve train movement, save 45–60 minutes per route, and enhance regional connectivity with faster access to and from Lucknow. This will also improve rail access for nearby cities such as Barabanki, Ayodhya, and Rae Bareli.
