Rajasthan Allocated Rs 99.6 Mn In Union Budget 2025

Rajasthan has been allocated Rs 99.60 million under the Union Budget 2025 for various railway development projects. The General Manager of North Western Railway, Amitabh, shared that this allocation marks a significant increase in funding compared to previous years, driving major infrastructure improvements. He said that the state, the largest in India by area, is witnessing rapid development in its railway infrastructure. "Rajasthan is the largest state in the country in terms of area, the work of development of railway lines is going on rapidly here. We will also cover the two-sided areas soon," he added. Rajasthan is also witnessing the redevelopment of 85 railway stations. Amitabh explained, "We have divided them into two parts. 

One is the station where development work and redevelopment work is going on on a large scale. Keeping in mind the culture of that area." The goal is to complete most of these projects by the end of 2025. "We are trying to complete most of them by the end of this year 2025. Some of the redevelopment work going on in some of these stations will be completed by July 2025," Amitabh confirmed. Regarding specific stations, Amitabh highlighted the progress at Jaisalmer and Gandhinagar railway stations. "In the major redevelopment work, this work is almost complete at Jaisalmer railway station. At the same time, work is going on at a fast pace at Gandhinagar railway station, we would like it to be completed as soon as possible," he stated. In a similar move, the government allocated Rs 9,417 crore for the development of various railway projects in Andhra Pradesh under the Union Budget. Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) of Guntur district, Ramakrishna, noted that this allocation represents an 11-fold increase compared to previous budgets, signaling a significant push for infrastructure development. 

He further emphasised that over the past decade, 1,560 km of new railway tracks have been laid in Andhra Pradesh, surpassing the entire railway network of Sri Lanka.
