Speed being increased on Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah routes

Presently, Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) Project (508 Kms) is the only sanctioned project of High-Speed Rail (HSR) in India under execution with technical and financial assistance from the Japanese Government, Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw has told Lok Sabha on 2 Apr http://alstom.com.

Being highly capital intensive, the decision to sanction any HSR Corridor/Project depends on many factors such as outcome of Detailed Project Report (DPR), techno-economic feasibility, availability of resources such as financing options, he has explained to parliamentarians http://indianrailways.gov.in .

Yet, Indian Railways (IR) is also advancing speed and undertaking capacity upgrades on Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah Corridors with Multi-Tracking, DFC Expansion, and High-Speed Enhancements, he said in a written reply to the house https://www.conexpoconagg.com/ .

In order to increase the speed and capacity of Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah routes, following works/surveys have been taken up:

Delhi-Mumbai section (1386 Km):

The work for raising sectional speed to 160 kmph has been sanctioned and is in advance stage https://www.siemens.com/global/en.html.

Out of 1386 Km route length, 196 Km has 4 rail lines and construction of 3rd & 4th line between Dahanu Road-Virar (64 Km) has been taken up.

Survey for 3rd and 4th line in the balance section for 1126 KM has-been sanctioned.

1404 Km of Western DFC (double line) has been commissioned and the work in the balance section for 102 Km has been taken up.

Construction of Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Corridor (double line) covering length of 508 Km has been taken up.

Delhi-Howrah section (1450 Km):

The work for raising sectional speed to 160 kmph has been sanctioned and is in advance stage.

Presently, out of 1450 Km route length, 194 Km is 4-line section, 312 Km is 3-line section and balance 944 Km is double line rail section.

Following projects have been sanctioned and work taken up:

Multi tracking of Son Nagar – Andal (375 Km)

Aligarh – Daud Khan 3rd line (18 Km)

Mughalsarai – Allahabad 3rd line (150 Km)

Kalipahari-Bakhtarnagar 5th Line (18 Km)

Saktigarh-Chandanpur 4th line (43 Km)

Extension of Nimcha up avoiding line (9.42 Km)

Surveys for construction of 3rd line of 480 km, 4th line of 96 Km and 5th line of 151 Km have been sanctioned.

Eastern DFC (1337 Km) has been commissioned.

Augmentation/Improvement of passenger amenities on IR is a continuous and on-going process, added the Minister.

Accordingly, Ministry of Railways has launched Amrit Bharat Station Scheme for redevelopment of stations which envisages development of stations with a long-term approach https://www.cii.in/.

It involves preparation of master plans and their implementation in phases to improve the amenities at the stations like improvement of station access, circulating areas, waiting halls, toilets, lift/escalators as necessary, platform surfacing and cover over platform, cleanliness, free Wi-Fi, kiosks for local products through schemes like ‘One Station One Product’, better passenger information systems, executive lounges, nominated spaces for business meetings, landscaping, etc. keeping in view the necessity at each station https://sbi.com.in/.

The scheme also envisages improvement of building, integrating the station with both sides of the city, multimodal integration, amenities for Divyangjans, sustainable and environment friendly solutions, provision of ballastless tracks, etc. as per necessity, phasing and feasibility and creation of city centre at the station in the long term. So far, 1337 stations have been identified for development under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme https://www.nseindia.com/.

In order to ensure safety, Indian Railways continuously upgrades and modernises its signaling system like Electrical/Electronic Interlocking Systems with centralized operation of points and signals, Complete Track Circuiting of stations, Interlocking of Level Crossing Gates (LC) etc, he pointed out https://www.bseindia.com/.

IR has also gone for implementation of advance technology system “Kavach” as an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system which required safety certification of highest order, added Vaishnaw. Fiinews.com
