East Coast Railway (ECoR) is one of the premier zones of Indian Railways, established in its current form on 1st April 2003, with its headquarters in Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha. Our geographical jurisdiction spans three states:

•        Odisha — covering major parts of the state
•        Andhra Pradesh — encompassing Alluri Sitharama Raju, ParvatipuramManyam, and Vizianagaram districts of North Eastern Andhra Pradesh
•        Chhattisgarh — covering the Bastar and Dantewada districts

This vast region, endowed with a long coastline and rich mineral and natural resources, is on the threshold of a major industrial transformation. East Coast Railway is at the forefront of this growth, driving connectivity and capacity to meet the rising transport demands of the region.

We are actively augmenting rail capacity to key ports , Paradeep, Gopalpur, and Dhamra enhancing cargo handling infrastructure to support the surge in mineral-based industries, mega steel plants, and chemical and fertilizer facilities that are transforming this region.
