In December 2013, a survey on the proposed railway line was completed.

In March 2014, the Nilgiris-Wayanad National Highway and Railway Action Committee (NWNHRAC) directed the State Government to form a special-purpose vehicle (SPV) for the implementation of the project.

The project has been submitted by Karnataka state government to the central government and the state government expressed that is willing to bear 50% of the project costs.

On December 10, 2015, the State government signed a Memorandum of Understanding(MoU) with MoR.

In June 2016, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) was appointed to prepare a detailed project report and a final location survey.
