"The Indian Railways has registered a 37 per cent increase in electrification
work during the period 2014-2020 as compared to 2009-2014. About 18,065 km rail
routes have been electrified during these six years.
The Mission 100% electrification of the Railways will achieve the goal of
net-zero carbon emissions.
India aims to reach 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030. The electrification of
railways will also have a direct impact on crude oil imports. Apart from this,
the average speed of trains will increase and the development of industries on
electrified routes, agro-based businesses, and progress and prosperity of
villagers and farmers will also be strengthened.
India’s railway network has long been fueled largely by coal and diesel. In the
year 2000, only 24% of the railway routes were electrified which increased to
40 per cent in 2017 and then reached 65 per cent by the end of 2020
Till 2014, only 21,413 km of railway routes were electrified. In the last 9
years, the Railways in India has done electrification work at a fast pace. So
far, 37,011 Route Kilometers (RKMs) of tracks have been electrified in nine
years. With this, a total of 58,424 RKM has been electrified so far, which is
90 per cent of Indian Railways."
