As per the release, the main objective of the initiative is to make each railway station a promotional hub and a showcase destination for the local products, thereby giving a major boost to local industries by providing enhanced livelihood to local artisans, potters, handloom weavers, tribals etc.

The applicant is allowed to sell handloom products/handicrafts/sarees/textiles of Pochampally at Kacheguda railway station for a period of 15 days, starting from April 24, 2022.
