6.8 Hubballi –Ankola New Railway Line Project: In the year 1997-98 the Ministry of Railways had sanctioned the construction of a broadgauge railway line from Hubli to Ankola for around 168 kms linking Hubli with the existing Konkan railway line. This will provide a direct rail link from hinterland to the West Coast of Karnataka. The initial work on a stretch of about 40 kms from Hubli to Kalghatgi has been done and an amount of Rs 117.00crores spent by the Railways. The foundation stone for this project was laid by the then Prime Minister Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Subsequently, the work could not be under taken since the line passes through forest area and an appeal was filed before the Central Empowered Committee, set up by the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

It is emphasized that the Hubli – Ankola railway line is of utmost importance for the development of the back ward region of North Karnataka as it connects coastal Karnataka in the North to the hinter land. The railway line proposed between Hubli – Ankola becomes the most important feeder artery connecting the port to the industries being developed in the Northern and North Eastern Karnataka.

The significance of this railway line had been highlighted to the CEC who visited the spot in December 2013 and has been acknowledged in their report. The road capacity of NH 63 between Hubli & Ankola is limited and is not a viable alternative and causes more pollution than a railway line. The development of the projects Seabird, Kaiga nuclear power project, NMPT thermal power plant etc., and other large industries coming up in this area will benefit a lot from this railway line.

The Government is committed to ensure minimal damage to the forest and will implement stringently all mitigation measures required as well as development of compensatory forest in this area.

The NGT, after a series of hearings has disposed of the matter and has asked the project proponent viz; Railways, to send a proposal to the State Government for further examination.

The balance 142 Ha private lands required will be acquired immediately after receiving requisition from Ministry of Railways. 741.84 Ha of balance land will be handed over after clearance from MoEF & CC.

The State Government vide letter dated 9/11/2017 has requested the MoE & F, Wildlife Division, to accord Wildlife clearance for diversion of proposed forest land as per the recommendations of the REC, that the project is located in the Western Ghats Region, an important Bio-diversity hotspot required critical appraisal from the Wildlife conservation perspective.
