Big four-tracking push! Railways to expand on 7 high-density routes - why it matters
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced plans to expand tracks on seven high-density routes, adding four tracks across 11,000 kilometers. This initiative addresses the fact that 41% of India’s rail traffic operates on just 16% of its network, aiming to enhance capacity. The expansion is crucial for meeting the growing demand for passenger and freight services.
