Gauge conversion

In 2017, Banmankhi–Bihariganj branch line which initially was laid as metre-gauge railway, was closed for gauge conversion to broad gauge. Two years later, in February 2019 was commissioned the first stretch of 16 km track between Banmankhi and Barhara Kothi. The remaining section between Barhara Kothi and Bihariganj (12 km) is expected to be completed by March 2020.[3]

There is a project to extend the line after Bihariganj up to Kursela.[3]
