New Rail Corridor to Cut Udaipur-Jodhpur Travel Time by 3 Hours
The Mavli-Marwar railway corridor is being developed in two phases to convert the existing metre-gauge section into broad gauge
UdaipurTimes, Nov 10, 2026 - The under-construction Mavli-Marwar railway project is all set to improve connectivity between Udaipur and Jodhpur when complete. The new broad-gauge railway line is projected to bring down the train travel distance by around 250 kms and cut travel time by three hours. Currently, the travel time between the two Rajasthan cities is around seven hours.
This Mavli-Marwar railway corridor is being developed in two phases to convert the existing metre-gauge section into broad gauge. The first phase of the project, at an estimated cost of Rs 969 crore, covers around 85 kms between Nathdwara and Devgarh Madariya and is said to be more than 95% complete.
The second phase will cover around 72 kms between Devgarh Madariya and Marwar Junction via Todgarh at a budgeted cost of around Rs 11.75 crore. As per reports, the final location survey for this phase has been approved by the Railway Ministry.
Once operational, this railway corridor will provided a boost to tourism, trade and easier access to popular tourist landmarks in the State such as Kumbhalgarh Fort and Todgarh Wildlife Sanctuary.
