Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw says Indian Railways moving towards four-laning high-density routes
Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced Indian Railways' plan to four-lane all seven high-density routes spanning nearly 11,000 km, which carry a major share of national rail traffic. This infrastructure upgrade aims to decongest saturated corridors, enhance capacity, and improve punctuality for both passenger and freight services. The move aligns with the National Rail Plan's vision for 2030 and supports the PM Gati Shakti framework for multimodal connectivity. For competitive exams, this highlights key government infrastructure priorities and railway modernization metrics.
