The railway infrastructure in Telangana is witnessing a transformative phase under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. The Union Minister For Culture, Tourism, And Development, G Kishan Reddy, recently highlighted the numerous initiatives taken by the government to enhance the rail network in the state. From the introduction of the high-speed Vande Bharat Express to the modernization of railway stations, the focus has been on providing a seamless, efficient, and sustainable transportation system for the people of Telangana.
Infusing Growth with Investments in Rail Track Length Expansion and Electrification
One of the key aspects of the railway development plan in Telangana is the expansion of rail track length and the electrification of existing lines. Under the leadership of the Modi government, an impressive investment of Rs 30,062 crores has been made to extend the rail track length by 1645 kilometers in the state. This substantial investment will not only boost connectivity within Telangana but also strengthen its economic growth by facilitating smoother movement of goods and people.
The introduction of the Vande Bharat Express, also known as the Train 18, is a significant step towards revolutionizing rail travel in Telangana. This state-of-the-art, semi-high-speed train offers a comfortable and luxurious travel experience. Equipped with modern amenities and cutting-edge technology, the Vande Bharat Express reduces travel time, making it an attractive option for commuters.
Additionally, the revamping of railway stations in Telangana is aimed at providing world-class facilities to passengers. The modernization plan includes the improvement of infrastructure, passenger amenities, and accessibility features. Upgraded railway stations will not only enhance the overall travel experience but also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the cities and towns they serve.
