¨
Indian Railways has
become the world’s largest electrified rail system.
¨
Almost the entire 70,000
route-kilometre broad-gauge network is now powered by electricity.
¨
By November 2025, more
than 99% of the network was electrified.
¨
The pace of
electrification has increased by a large amount over time.
¨
Between 2004 and 2014, it
was about 1.5 kilometres per day.
¨
In the last six years, it
increased to more than 15 kilometres per day.
¨
Indian Railways has
expanded its use of renewable energy.
¨
Solar power capacity
increased to nearly 900 megawatts by November 2025.
¨
In 2014, solar power
capacity was under 4 megawatts.
¨
This indicates a
significant growth in renewable energy adoption.
