SWR UPGRADED THE INFRASTRUCTURE UNDER THE MISSION RAFTAR

• Sectional Speed over 317.42 Route km o­n SWR has been increased

• 32 trains speeded up during 2021-22

The “Mission Raftaar” of Indian Railways envisages improving of average speeds of passenger and freight trains. To improve average speeds of Passenger and Freight trains, Railway is working o­n many fronts including doubling.  o­ne of the thrust area being strengthening of track by undertaking various track improvement works. 

            South Western Railway has undertaken Track Renewal and Engineering Works in a big way  to improve sectional speeds, improve speeds o­n  loop lines at stations and to   eliminate permanent speed restrictions.  This is paving way for  long restriction free stretches thereby increasing the speed potential of trains.  Some of the significant achievements of SWR in the current financial year Up to December 2021 are as under :

Over 317 Route km of South Western Railway, sectional speed has been increased.  Some of the sections includeArsikere-Tumakuru, Davangere-Tolahunse, Harihar-Devargudda, Chikkaballapur-Kolar,  Yelahanka-Oddarahalli, Makalidurg-Devarapalle, Chikkodi Road-Raybag-Kudachi,  Gadag-Binkadakatti, Jumnal-Vijayapura etc. Over last three years o­n almost 2000 RKM sectional speed was raised.

In first 9 months of this financial year, Speed o­n loop lines at various stations totaling to153 Km  has been increased from 15 Kmph  up to 30 Kmph.  Loop lines speed has been increased in all the stations between Yesvantpur and Hubballi in last 3 years. Similarly Loop line speed has been increased in all the stations between Yesvantpur-Omluru, Mysuru-Arsikere, Wandal-Hotgi etc.

UptoDecember 2021, 18 permanent speed restrictions have been removed/relaxed  over South Western Railway . 

Shri  Sanjeev  Kishore, General Manager, South Western Railway appreciated the works done under the guidance of Principal Chief Engineer, Shri S.P.S. Gupta  and the Divisional Railway Managers of Hubballi, Bengaluru and Mysuru Division. 

Shri  Sanjeev  Kishore, GM/SWRsaid that as a result of progress achieved o­n account of doubling of track and above works, the mobility of trains has improved.   During 2021-22 itself, till now 32 Express/Passenger trains have been speeded up.  He said that SWR is doing all out efforts  to increase the speed by pursuing doubling works in Bengaluru-SSS Hubballi, Londa-Miraj and Gadag-Hotgi routes.  The increase in sectional speed will not o­nly  reduce travel time but also improve punctuality.  

Trains Speeded up during 2021-2022
