Koppal railway station (station code: KBL) is an NSG-5 Category Station under the Hubli railway division of the South Western Railway, located in Koppal district, Karnataka, India. The station has three platforms that primarily cater to Koppal City and nearby villages.
Developments
In 2012, a proposal was put forth to construct a new BG railway line covering a distance of 125 km from Almatti to Koppal, via Kudulsangama, Hungund, Ilkal, and Kushtagi. The project's estimated cost was 904.05 Cr, with a return on investment of +12.01% for the Ministry of Railways. However, in 2016, the Ministry of Railways abandoned the proposal, citing the need for infrastructural improvements and the doubling of the Hotgi-Kudgi-Gadag railway line to handle the coal supply traffic to the Kudgi Super Thermal Power Plant.
