All Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains o­n NCR territory have average speed of more than 90 KMPH which is best among all zonal railways.This massive and high-speed operation calls for a robust track structure and innovative maintenance practices to ensure safety and mobility in train operations.

With provision of long welded rail requirement of In-situ welding in point and crossing zone has also reduced which will further add to safety and comfort in train operations.
