According to sources, he said that this project was included in the railway budget with a cost of 550 crores in 1997-98. The budget was also approved in May 2006. The work on the project did not increase much, because the local people were demonstrating about the land acquisition. But some cases are also pending in court and the attitude of the Government of Kerala has also been uncooperative.

The Government of India had requested in letters to the Government of Kerala in 2011-12 to share at least 50% of the cost of the project. The Kerala government had agreed on 50% cost of the project. However, in 2016, the Kerala government withdrew from this project. Jahan Goyal has questioned the commitment of the state government in the important project.
