Meerut–Nazibabad Rail Electrification Completed

The Rs 19.5 billion electrification of the 132 km Meerut–Nazibabad railway section has been completed, marking a major milestone in strengthening northern India’s rail network.
The upgrade will enable faster and more reliable train services, improving operational efficiency, reducing travel time, and cutting fuel costs. According to the Ministry of Railways, electrification will significantly lower emissions, in line with the government’s target of achieving 100 per cent railway electrification nationwide.
The modernised section will also support higher freight capacity, benefiting industries and trade across Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Officials expect the improved connectivity to spur economic growth and regional development along the corridor.
As part of India’s wider rail infrastructure modernisation programme, the project will enhance both passenger and freight operations. The electrified section is set to deliver cost savings, environmental gains, and greater service reliability, reinforcing the country’s transition to a cleaner, more energy-efficient railway system.
