Rs.33.83 Bn Earmarked for Haryana Railway Infrastructure

The Indian government has allocated ?33.83 billion to improve railway infrastructure in Haryana. This significant investment aims to enhance connectivity and support economic growth in the region. The funds will be utilised for various projects, including the development of new railway lines, upgrading existing tracks, and modernising railway stations.

The investment is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the railway network across India, ensuring efficient transportation of goods and passengers. Haryana, with its strategic location and growing industrial base, is set to benefit substantially from this funding. Improved railway infrastructure is expected to facilitate better connectivity to major markets, thereby boosting trade and commerce.

Key projects include the construction of new lines connecting underserved areas, doubling of tracks to increase capacity, and electrification of routes to promote sustainable transportation. Modernization efforts will also focus on enhancing passenger amenities at stations, improving safety measures, and implementing advanced signalling systems.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar welcomed the allocation, stating that it would significantly contribute to the state's development. He emphasised the importance of robust infrastructure in attracting investment and creating job opportunities. The Chief Minister also highlighted the role of improved railway connectivity in supporting agricultural and industrial activities in Haryana.

The funding aligns with the government's vision of developing world-class infrastructure to support the nation's economic growth. By enhancing the railway network, the government aims to provide a reliable and efficient mode of transport, reduce congestion on roads, and lower transportation costs.

In addition to the economic benefits, the investment is expected to improve the overall travel experience for passengers. Modern, well-equipped stations and faster, more reliable trains will make railway travel more attractive and convenient.
