==Developments==<br />
In 2012, a proposal was put forth to construct a new [[Broad-gauge railway|BG railway]] line covering a distance of 125&nbsp;km from Almatti to Koppal, via [[Kudalasangama|Kudulsangama]], [[Hunagunda|Hungund]], [[Ilkal]], and [[Kushtagi]]. The project's estimated cost was 904.05 Cr, with a [[return on investment]] of +12.01% for the [[Ministry of Railways (India)|Ministry of Railways]]. However, in 2016, the Ministry of Railways abandoned the proposal, citing the need for infrastructural improvements and the doubling of the Hotgi-Kudgi-Gadag railway line to handle the coal supply traffic to the [[Kudgi]] Super Thermal Power Plant.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Archived copy | url=https://swr.indianrailways.gov.in/cris/uploads/files/1557046805336-2.%20Almatti%20-%20Koppal.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230501100612/https://swr.indianrailways.gov.in/cris/uploads/files/1557046805336-2.%20Almatti%20-%20Koppal.pdf | archive-date=2023-05-01}}</ref><br />
