Most of the tunnels listed below are located in the Western Ghats, the only mountain range in the country that has good railway connectivity. There are longer tunnels that are under construction in the Himalayas in Jammu & Kashmir, as part of the USBRL Project. Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel, the 11.2 km long railway tunnel, passes through the Pir Panjal Range of middle Himalayas in Jammu and Kashmir. It is a part of its Udhampur – Srinagar – Baramulla rail link project, India's longest railway tunnel and reduced the distance between Quazigund and Banihal.[1] But after the Patalpani Tunnel currently planned under construction in Madhya Pradesh, 49 kilometres (30 mi) from Indore city is completed in 2025, it will become the longest railway tunnel of India.[2] But once Keylong Tunnel comes up in Kyelang in Himachal Pradesh, it will be the longest tunnel of India.
