These multitracking corridors will streamline train operations, reduce congestion, and enhance mobility, thereby improving the overall efficiency and reliability of Indian Railways services.

🛤️ Strategic Relevance: PM Gati Shakti Master Plan

These projects are aligned with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, focusing on integrated planning and multimodal connectivity to improve logistics efficiency. They support seamless movement of people, goods, and services and enable economic empowerment at the grassroots level.

The initiatives are also in sync with the government’s vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat, offering opportunities for employment, entrepreneurship, and inclusive growth.


🌿 Environmental & Economic Impact

  • Reduction in oil import: ~160 million litres
  • CO₂ Emissions Reduction: ~5.15 billion kg (equivalent to planting 200 million trees)

The multitracking projects approved by the cabinet mark a significant push toward infrastructure modernization, rural connectivity, and sustainable logistics. These projects will not only decongest the high-density routes but also accelerate regional development and support India’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
