These projects are in different stages of plan ni ng/sanction/execution. Railways have reviewed status of pending land acquisition vis-i-vis amount deposited for land acquisition and lying idle with State Government. It is informed that Railways had deposited 1430.79 crore for acquisition of 1400 hectare land in 10 projects (Annexure-I), but land is yet to be handed over by State Government of Andhra Pradesh. This is resulting into delay in execution of projecb, besides blockage of Railway's capital with State Government, which otherwise could have been utilized for execution of projects in the State. Further, Railways have taken up 07 projecB (05 New Line and 02 Doubling) on cost sharing basis with Government of Andhra Pradesh (Annexure-Il). All cost sharing pQects in Andhra Pradesh are iuffering due to non deposition of cost share amount of 12956.47 crore by Government of Andhra Pradesh. State Government has to confirm to share 50o/o cost of Bhadrachalam-Kovur new line project (Andhra Pradesh poftion) as Government of Andhra Pradesh is reluctant to deposit their cost share in cost sharing p0ecB.
