Railways to add four lines on 11,000 km high-density network
Indian Railways plans to lay four railway lines across seven high-density routes spanning nearly 11,000 km, including the Delhi–Howrah and Delhi–Mumbai corridors, to handle heavy passenger and freight traffic.
Indian Railways is developing infrastructure to provide four railway lines across its entire high-density network, according to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Speaking on Wednesday, Vaishnaw outlined the significance of seven high-density rail routes that connect major metropolitan cities with the national capital and other key cities such as Mumbai, Chennai and Howrah.
The routes span nearly 11,000 km and carry a major share of the country's total rail traffic throughout the year. Among them, the Delhi–Howrah route covers around 1,400 km, while the Delhi–Mumbai route extends for approximately 1,500 km. The plan aims to support the massive passenger and freight traffic these corridors handle year-round.
