Southern Railway has
achieved 100 per cent
electrification across its
network, marking a key
infrastructure modernisation
milestone. The transition is
expected to improve
operational efficiency, reduce
diesel dependence and lower
emissions. Electrification will
support faster train
movement, better resource
utilisation and improved
reliability. The achievement
aligns with Indian Railways’
wider programme to electrify
its network and promote
cleaner, more energyefficient
rail transportation
across the country.
