No new projects allotted to the two states but only promised to complete the existing 29 pending projects. Total Six trains have been sanctioned for the sibling states.
Andhra Pradesh has got two trains and Telangana has got three new trains which also includes 2 semi-bullet trains and one ac premium train.
