STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) AND (b) OF STARRED QUESTION NO.130 BY SHRIMATI JYOTSNA CHARANDAS MAHANT TO BE ANSWERED  IN LOK SABHA  ON  27.11.2019  REGARDING  RAILWAY PROJECTS (a) & (b) :  Presently, 08 new line projects, covering a length of 1,382 km, at a cost of ₹ 21,046 crore and 09 doubling projects, covering a length of 1,394 km, at a cost of ₹ 13,220 crore, falling  fully/partly  in  the  State  of Chhattisgarh, are in different stages of planning/sanction/execution, out of  which,  commissioning  of  384  km  length  and  expenditure  of ₹ 6,985 crore  has  been  achieved  upto  March'  2019.  Further,  an  outlay  of ₹ 2,926.92 crore has been provided for these projects for 2019-20. The status of projects is appended

The  completion  of  any  Railway  project  depends  on  various  factors  like quick land acquisition by State Government, forest clearance by officials of forest department, shifting of infringing utilities (both underground and over  ground),  statutory  clearances  from  various  authorities,  geological and topographical conditions of area, law and order situation in the area of project site, number of working months in a year for particular project site  due  to  climatic  considerations,  cooperation  and  zeal  of  State Government  for  early  completion  of  project,  encountering  unforeseen conditions  like  earthquake,  flooding,  excessive  rains,  strikes  of  labour, orders of Hon'ble Courts, situation and conditions of working agencies/contractors etc. and all these factors affect the completion time and  cost  of  the  project,  which  is  finally  worked  out  at  the  completion stage.  Hence,  no  confirmed  time  frame  can  be  fixed  for  completion  of projects.
