Maribor – Šentilj

The mapped OpenStreetMap route measures 15.52 km; DRSI reports 18.15 km of upgraded existing track and a separate 3.7 km new alignment from Počehova to Pesnica. DRSI's project page gives a total value of EUR 309.86 million, its completion release says over EUR 314 million, and the 2025 state budget lists a current estimate of EUR 311.526 million at 96.5% execution. The budget figure is not an outturn, and the sources do not state a consistent VAT or valuation basis, so no structured cost is recorded.
