routes. So far, 2,583 route kilometers out of a total of 4,260 route kilometers have been electrified. Electrification has been completed in various northeastern states, including Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, and Tripura. Additionally, 318.87 route kilometers have been electrified in Bihar and 864.94 route kilometers in West Bengal. Electrification reduces reliance on crude oil, minimizes pollution, and saves foreign exchange. It also increases train speeds, reduces traction change times, and improves train scheduling on the Northeast Frontier Railway. Indian Railway Construction International Limited (IRCON) and Rail India Technical and Economic Services (RITES) are undertaking the electrification work in various sections.
