The new line will benefit vital industrial establishments like the power plant at Jaithari, ensuring smooth supply and providing a lifeline to the local community by generating employment opportunities. The expansion also promises seamless supply of empty freight trains for coal loading in the siding areas of coal mines in the Shahdol and Sohagpur regions. The third line at Mudaria will also benefit industries like Orient Paper Mill in Amlai, and facilitate cement loading in Rupound, promoting economic growth and creating new jobs. The SECR's commitment to expanding rail infrastructure through initiatives like adding third and fourth lines underscores its dedication to meeting the growing needs of passengers and industries.

The ongoing construction of Bridge No. 196 over the small Mahanadi river is evidence of this commitment. The commissioning of the third line at Mudaria Station, coupled with the SECR's proactive approach to infrastructure development, will enhance punctuality, efficiency, and connectivity, leading to economic growth and prosperity in the region.

The railway will run two trains on an alternate route during this period. Passengers are facing difficulties during summer vacation due to the large number of train cancellations and the difficulty in securing confirmed tickets on the running express trains due to long waiting lists. Railway officials claim that once the third line work is completed, trains will be able to run faster and more efficiently. In recent months, numerous train cancellations have occurred due to infrastructural work across various sections of SECR. This includes the cancellation of 19 MEMU passenger trains between April 27th and 30th due to the construction of the third line connecting the Salekasa Railway Station between Rajnandgaon and Kalpana in the Nagpur division. This affected over 50,000 passengers. Similarly, 19 trains were canceled and eight trains were terminated before their destination between April 19th and 21st due to automatic signaling and other upgrades on the Raipur-Durg section. Additionally, two trains traveling south were canceled from April 27th to May 21st due to the construction of a third line in the Secunderabad division. Eight trains were operated on an alternative route during this period. Now, the cancellation of 24 passenger trains between June 12th and June 21st due to the work at Mudaria Station further adds to the inconvenience of passengers. Two trains will run on an alternative route. The large-scale cancellation of trains is causing significant trouble for passengers during summer vacation.
