Indian Railways infrastructure upgrades

Overview

Indian Railways has approved several infrastructure projects to improve network efficiency and safety. These include a 142 crore rupee upgrade of the electric traction system for the Savalyapuram-Guntur section of the South Coast Railway, intended to bolster power supply and increase capacity for electric train operations.

Additionally, the railways approved a four-lane road overbridge (ROB) on the Udhna-Ukai Songadh section of the Western Railway. Estimated at approximately ₹133.23 crore, the project will be funded through a cost-sharing agreement between Indian Railways and the state government. The bridge design, which includes an Open Web Girder and a viaduct, faces significant complexity due to a 62% skew at the crossing location. The infrastructure aims to facilitate smoother road traffic and reduce interference with rail operations.
