    Electrification

    I Executive Summary of Railway Electrification


    With a view to reduce the Nation’s dependence on imported petroleum
    based energy and to enhance energy security of the Country, as well as
    to make the Railway System more eco-friendly and modernized, Indian
    Railways have been progressively electrifying its rail routes.
    Upto March 2016, 23,555 Route kilometers which is 35.32% of the
    total Railway network has been electrified. On this electrified route 64.80%
    of freight traffic & 51.30% of Passenger traffic is hauled with fuel cost on
    electric traction being merely 38.70% of the total traction fuel cost on Indian
    Railways. In XIIth plan(2012-17), the target has been further enhanced to
    6,500 RKMs, out of which, 5,772 RKMs have been electrified in the last four
    years of XIIth plan i.e. (in 2012-16) as against the proportionate target of
    5,200 RKMs.

    IV 
    Completion of Electrification from Varanasi–Lohta–Janghai
    Unchahar including Phaphamau–Prayag–Allahabad to connect
    two electrified routes i.e Kanpur–Allahabad–Mughalsarai and
    Lucknow–Sultanpur–Varanasi–Mughalsarai on electric traction.
    In the year 2015-16, Railway Electrification of Varanasi-Phaphamau-
    Unchahar including Phaphamau-Prayag-Allahabad of Northern Railway,
    covering 207 route kilometers and passing through the State of Uttar Pradesh
    has been completed. This important rail route connects Allahabad on electrified
    (Kanpur–Allahabad-Mughalsarai) trunk route with Varanasi on electrified
    (Lucknow-Sultanpur-Varanasi-Mughalsarai) rail route. This has resulted in
    seamless flow of electric trains in this section as traction changes/detentions at
    Allahabad and Varanasi ends are eliminated.

    V Completion of Electrification of Alwar-Rewari i.e. an extension


    of electrified Mathura-Alwar route.
    In the year 2015-16, Railway Electrification of Alwar-Rewari rail line of
    North Western Railway, covering 72 route kilometers and passing through
    the States of Rajasthan and Haryana has been completed. This important
    rail route is an extension of electrified Mathura-Alwar and Phulera-Jaipur-
    Alwar(under electrification) rail routes and connects Delhi–Rewari–Ajmer-
    Ahmedabad which is also under electrification.

    VI Completion of Electrification of Ghaziabad-Meerut-Saharanpur


    rail line to connect two electrified routes i.e Ambala–Saharanpur–
    Moradabad and Delhi–Ghaziabad–Kanpur on electric traction.
    In the year 2015-16, Railway Electrification of Ghaziabad-Meerut-
    Saharanpur rail line of Northern Railway, covering 161 route kilometers and
    passing through the State of Uttar Pradesh has been completed. This important
    rail route connects Ghaziabad on electrified (Delhi-Ghaziabad-Kanpur) trunk
    route with Saharanpur on electrified (Ambala-Saharanpur-Moradabad-
    Lucknow) rail route. This has resulted in seamless flow of electric trains in this
    section as traction changes/detentions at Ghaziabad and Saharanpur ends are
    eliminated.

    VII 
    Completion of Electrification of Ghaziabad–Moradabad rail
    line to connect two electrified routes i.e Ambala–Moradabad–
    Lucknow and Delhi–Ghaziabad–Kanpur.
    In the year 2015-16, Railway Electrification of Ghaziabad-Moradabad rail
    line of Northern Railway, covering 135 route kilometers and passing through
    the State of Uttar Pradesh has been completed. This important rail route

    69
    connects Ghaziabad on electrified (Delhi-Ghaziabad-Kanpur) trunk route with
    Moradabad on electrified (Ambala-Moradabad-Lucknow) rail route. This has
    resulted in seamless flow of electric trains in this section as traction changes/
    detentions at Ghaziabad and Moradabad ends are eliminated.

    VIII Completion of DC-AC conversion in Mumbai area of Western


    & Central Railways.
    Electrification in Indian Railways started on 1500 volts DC on the suburban
    system of Central Railway with first electric train running on the historic day of
    3rd February, 1925.
    Post independence, the electrification was done on 25000 volt AC, which
    was a far superior technology, keeping in pace with the changing times. The
    complete section of Western Railway from Virar to Churchgate was converted
    from 1500 volt DC to 25000 volt AC on the historic date of 5th February,
    2012. This has resulted in reduction in cost of operation apart from improving
    speeds and sectional capacity.
    On the Central Railway system, which is much larger than the Western
    Railway system, conversion work has been successfully completed over the
    entire Mumbai division of Central Railway. This work of very complex nature
    has been carried out on the busiest network of Indian Railways without any
    disruption to sensitive commuter traffic. This will substantially improve the
    traffic throughput and result in a cumulative saving of `80-100 crore per
    annum, apart from introducing State-of-the Art train services for Mumbai
    suburban passengers with better passenger amenities, reduction in journey
    time and operating cost of the Railways.
