IR completes 100% electrification of rail network in Haryana

Indian Railways has reached a critical milestone by fully electrifying its network in the state of Haryana. The 1,701 route kilometres of Haryana's existing broad-gauge network are now entirely electrified, which results in savings due to lower line haul costs (about 2.5 times lower), heavier haulage capacity, increased sectional capacity, lower operating & maintenance costs of electric locos, and a more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient mode of transportation with less reliance on imported crude oil and foreign exchange savings. In accordance with the Railways' aim of having a 100% electrified network, additional Broad Gauge lines will also be approved.

Northern, North Central & North Western Railway has jurisdiction over the territory of Haryana State. Ambala, Panipat, Gurgaon, Kurukshetra, Hisar Junction, Rewari Junction, Rohtak Junction, and Bhiwani are a few of the main railway stations in Haryana.

The Kalka Shatabdi Express, Himalayan Queen, Kalka Mail, Paschim Express, Golden Temple Mail, and Kalinga Utkal Express are just a few of the illustrious trains that go through the state of Haryana. These trains offer simple connectivity to different regions of the state and other significant Indian cities.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
