Q: What is the inter-city infrastructure like between Mysore and its neighbouring cities. I’m asking because I’m buying a house in Mysore, and my new job requires me to travel a lot between these cities.
Yes, we are definitely looking at the track redoubling to be completed by March 2015. The issues that were delaying this project have been sorted out and the construction work has been expedited efficiently to finish it on target. Once that railway tracks are active, I’ve heard that there are a number of high speed trains that will be travelling between Mysore and Chennai via Bangalore. I think you don’t need to worry about your travel timings to all these cities.
Actually you’re in luck. There are a number of projects on the book now, which are definitely going to lower the travel time from Mysore to other cities like Bangalore, Chennai, etc. Hopefully the Mysore – Bangalore railway track redoubling work, which has been in the works for several years now, will be completed by March 2015. That will be a bigtime help as many people like you, are looking to invest in Mysore real estate, and this will only help in capital appreciation.
