From what I could gather, some 25 Kms of railway line has been laid. The work on other 2 stations are on too. The line is circuitous in the sense it doesn't connect Kadapa with Bengaluru by the shortest distance i.e. via Rayachoti-Madanapalle-Chintamani (parallel to NH 340). It will surely take a long time for the completion of this line, but short term just completed stations may be opened, is what locals hope for.

Stations after Kadapa are:
Pebrapuram.
Ganganapalle.
Pendlimarri (some 22 Kms from Kadapa).
