Latest Answer: At present, a single railway line via Venkatachalam as well as four-lane road serve the port. Provisions have been made to augment to a double rail line and 2 additional lanes of road. The previous governments had also sanctioned a new broad gauge line between the port and Bellary-Hospet iron ore mines. A pipeline corridor has been established to connect the port to the nearest 7 oil refineries with the purpose of liquid bulk transport. There is also a dedicated belt conveyor corridor with the purpose of transporting coal to the nearest 10 mega thermal power stations.
