Indian RailwaysWhich is called the “lifeline” of the country, taking unprecedented steps to upgrade its infrastructure. Railways have recently completed the work of upgrading the 23,000 km railway track, which can now run at a speed of 130 km per hour. This is not just an achievement but a strong step towards the future.
The aim of the government is not only to run a high speed train but also take the entire railway network towards modernization. Not only the railway track has been upgraded for this, but the signaling system has also been made state -of -the -art.
Railway’s comprehensive approach under modernization
Many important decisions have been taken to improve railway infrastructure. Some of these special steps are as follows:
- Track upgradation and fencing
The track has been closely examined to ensure the safety of high speed trains. Strong fencing has been done at places around the track to prevent the possibility of illegal infiltration or accidents. - Signaling and modernization of communication system
The modern signaling system not only helps in increasing the speed of the train but also prevents accidents. This technique brings boom and transparency in train operation. - Development of Golden Quadrilateral and Diagnill Network
This network connecting India’s economic and traffic centers has been given priority. This route is the center of the country’s 60% freight and most passenger travel.
Fast speed new paradigm: Vande India Trains
Indian Railways has given the experience of new facility to passengers through Vande Bharat Semi-high-speed train. These trains are capable of running at a speed of 160 kmph. They have been designed keeping in mind the safety and comfort of the passengers.
Vande Bharat trains are in discussion not only in terms of speed but also for their smart features, luxury seats and facilities. Due to this, it promises to completely change the experience of rail travel in India.
Railway freight and passenger income increases
The impact of the efforts of the government and the railway has also been seen in the financial data. Between April and December 2024, the income from freight has increased by 4% to Rs 1.26 lakh crore. Passenger fares recorded an increase of 6%, which has been Rs 55,988 crore.
These figures show that the railway is taking not only infrastructure but also its operation model to new heights.
Increased budget for railway infrastructure
The budget of the railway has also been extended with a developing approach. Infrastructure is being spent more on infrastructure so that Indian Railways can compete globally.
Modern Railways: Towards a bright future
These efforts of Indian Railways will not only make the country’s journey fast and safe but will also promote responsibility towards the environment. Railway is also reducing carbon emissions through electrification and high-speed trains.
