Impact Analysis

South Western Railway (Mysuru Division) Impact The division will see an expansion or shift in its jurisdictional limits, specifically gaining the Thokur interchange point with Konkan Railway and a new interchange point at Ullal with Southern Railway. Action Required The division must update its operational maps, records, and administrative protocols to manage the newly assigned sections and interchange points by the 1st October 2026 deadline.

Southern Railway (Palakkad Division) Impact The division's jurisdiction is reduced as its boundary with South Western Railway is fixed at Km 872.900, and it will no longer manage the interchange point at Thokur or the Padil interchange point with the Mysuru division. Action Required The division needs to facilitate the transfer of jurisdictional control and update its boundary markers and operational records to reflect the new limits on the Shoranur Jn.-Mangaluru Central section.

Konkan Railway Impact The existing operational interface at Thokur and the divisional boundary will transition from being associated with Southern Railway to South Western Railway. Action Required Konkan Railway must coordinate with the Mysuru division for future interchange activities and update administrative agreements to reflect the change in the neighboring zonal authority.
