In order to achieve Net Zero Carbon Emitter by 2030, Indian Railway is in full swing to get completely electrified. In this regard, the Indian railways have successfully completed the electrification of all broad gauge tracks in Chattisgarh. The step will help to pace up the speed of the train and reduce the time travel between two stations.
The idea of turning the Indian Railways into a 100 per cent electrified service was first mooted in 2017 from a sustainability point of view.
The electrification of 1,170 route km BG lines in the state will enhance the sectional capacity of the trains and reduce the dependency on imported crude oil and save foreign exchange. It also reduces the cost of operating and maintenance in electric locomotives.
