During this financial year, the Railways has completed 2,022 Track Kilometres (TKM) of new lines, gauge conversion and multi-tracking projects.

During this financial year to date, 109 TKM of new line, 102 TKM of gauge conversion and 1,811 TKM of multi-tracking have been completed. However, during the last financial year, this figure was reached during the first week of March 2022.

During 2009-14 average doubling commissioning was 375 km per year. This increased to 1,394 km per year during 2014-22. Last year till November, 756 km doubling and multi-tracking were achieved which has gone up to 1,930 km this year.
