41. Looking to Future 37 SWOT Analysis : Strengths :  The Only Railway Line passing through Western Ghats connecting the major port of Karnataka with Hinterland.  Has got Line Capacity to transport 7 Million Tonnes of Traffic per annum.  Stabilized Rail Link.  Entire Loan of `. 90 Cr. availed from Nationalized Banks Completely Amortized within 3 years of CoD

42. Looking to Future 38 Weaknesses :  Dependence on a single Commodity (Iron-Ore/Export) which is the Cash Cow.  Oligopolistic customers.  Capacity and Operational constraints due to steep gradient ( 1 in 50) and more number of 8 degree Curves. Multiple locos with AEBs used for hauling up Trains Empty running of Locos and Rakes Speed restrictions – 30 KMPH in Ghat Section. Detention due to a variety of reasons.  Outstanding sub-debt ( ` 60.78 Cr) and deferred OH ( ` 82.71 Cr) along with interest, if any.  The Cash Reserves of ` 235 Cr represent only DRF.

43. Looking to Future 39 Opportunities :  Steady Traffic with KIOCL expansion plans (Iron Ore Domestic)  Iron-Ore for Export market may commence upon lifting the ban.  Import of high grade non-coking Coal for proposed Steel Plants and Coal for Power Plants, which will be moved from NMPT through Hassan Mangalore Rail Line.  Diversification into development of Property Time Shares (with the Land available) for heritage Tours and Trek to boost non-traditional income.  Going for “Doubling” of the Line, avoiding Ghat Section (118 Kms as against 55Kms of Ghat Section) with minimum impact on Environment.

44. Looking to Future 40 Threats :  Higher Expenditure on Maintenance costs, Protection works and for retaining walls etc to prevent landslides.  Huge Capital Expenditure for strengthening of bridges to permit running of 25T Axle Load Trains.  Dwindling traffic movements.  Premature replacement of Assets due to denudation.
