line was inaugurated for passenger traffic in 2014 from Harihara to Kotturu. But the section from Kotturu to Hosapete Junction was open for only goods traffic due to gradient problem.
The gradient work is now over, also the problem with high tension wire. Some work related to signalling (at MMI) and some PF construction work is pending along some stations on the route. It's not clear when (if at all) this line will be opened for passenger trains. But 1 or 2 Goods trains do ply on this route everyday.
