The Guntur-Tenali Railway line, a critical component of the rail link serving the three important cities viz., Guntur, Vijayawada & Tenali which are located in the capital city region of Andhra Pradesh state. This line serves as an important and short route connecting both Telugu states with Southern states viz., Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
