07 Apr 2025 CW Team

Indian Railways has commissioned over 1,900 km of new rail lines in Maharashtra as part of infrastructure projects worth Rs 815.80 bn. The expansion includes new railway lines, track doubling, electrification, and freight corridors, aimed at improving connectivity and reducing congestion.

Key projects include the Wardha-Ballarshah third line, Bhusawal-Jalgaon quadrupling, and sections of the Dedicated Freight Corridor. The Mumbai suburban rail network is also undergoing major enhancements to accommodate growing passenger demand.

These developments align with the central government’s focus on modernising railway infrastructure and boosting freight and passenger movement. The electrification drive supports Indian Railways’ carbon neutrality goals, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering operational costs.

With improved connectivity, reduced travel time, and enhanced freight capacity, Maharashtra is set to emerge as a crucial railway hub. These upgrades will drive economic growth, create job opportunities, and improve logistics efficiency across the state. The continued push for railway modernisation ensures Maharashtra remains at the forefront of India's transportation and infrastructure development.
