Indian Railways has set a target to complete the Electrification of its Broad gauge network by December 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

Till now, it has <\/span>fully electrified the BG network of 14 states and union territories (UTs).<\/span><\/p>\n

The pace of electrification between 2014 and 2019 was 7.5 rkm per day which doubled to 15.3 rkm per day between 2020 and 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

In FY23, this pace rose further to 18 rkm per day, the highest the national transporter has managed in a single year.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the progress in the Northeast, barring Meghalaya is in contrast to the success elsewhere as five states were yet to have a single track electrified.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the benefits of the Electrification of the BG network of Railways?<\/b><\/p>\n

Electrification offers numerous benefits, including saving over Rs 150 crore on fuel bill every year, seamless operations, pollution-free mode of transport and increase average speed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
