The 82-km Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Rapid Rail Transit System corridor is being funded by the Asian Development Bank, and procurement is governed by guidelines of the bank & govt.
In a letter dated 24 November, the Railway Board has asked general managers of zones across the country to put a freeze on all new posts and surrender 50% of vacancies.
Services of pantry cars, attached to around 350 pairs of trains, were temporarily discontinued due to the pandemic. These could now be replaced with AC-3 tier coaches.
Indian Railways has told private operators that they will have autonomy to fix fares. But it doesn't rule out creation of a price regulatory body in future.
As part of the plan for private trains, the railways invited proposals from companies to run 151 modern passenger trains on 109 pairs of routes across the country.
Railways’ finances have taken a further hit in light of the Covid lockdown, which brought passenger trains to a complete halt until the Shramik operations were launched in May.
The case of Lt Samuel Kamalesan was a rare clash between an officer’s beliefs and the Army’s traditions, but today’s climate of politicised religiosity and a hierarchy pandering to it makes reform urgent.
Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
so btw 2006 to 2014, the cash crunch was expected though 88% of land was acquired. it s expected becoz the money leaked from mnrega etc ( basically the spent by LELI coterie of NAC during UPA), but unfortunately that money never reached the poor … ofcourse money also went into lutyens leftist elite …
Congratulations to all Indians, we all are waiting when corridor starts from Srinagar (J&K) to Kaniakumari, Mumbai, Kolkata and important cities and this wonder can only possible if Mody ji operation continue, he ( Mody ji) may live long. Jai Hind.
Fantastic and pragmatic work done in no non sense manner with all seriousness and dedication. Kudos to Modi govt and its team. First time India seeing real Indian Prime Minister who is really dedicated about India’s all round development.
what a shame !! You need loan of 87.6k crores . !! It’s great to see you getting 13.5k crores by WB and 37.9K crores by JICA . remember india is home to only 140 crores .!! you call it development !! it’s nothing more than mortgaging you entire population ..
60 Kms of the stretch between New Durgawati to New Sasaram in Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor was inaugurated and trains were run but later discontinued due to issues of level crossing.
When ur work is shown in ground…people will vote no matter u follow hard core hindutva or anything. That what happened in 2019 win. People saw the work being done.
This is the real fun of politicking! DFC as a project was conceived by DR Manmohan Singh within two years of coming to power. The overall project envisages a series of development of industries along western and eastern corridor. Funding was also tied up and the most complex aspect of the project I. e land acquisition was completed by 2013.
In fact after that execution should have been completed in maximum 4 years. It’s strange that even after 6 years the project is hardly 30%done and should be treated as a major failure. The fun is success is being claimed!
As against DFC, Modiji envisaged a completely useless project of bullet train at a whopping cost. It is as if a poor man buys a Mercedes instead of bying a truck useful for incresing income. But the bhakts are hardly ever expected to understand. And that’s the secret of success of Modiji’s successful politics.
True, it is a shame.
2006 to 2014 is 8 years. Could not do much. Agree. What we have done in 6 years (2014 to 2020)?
Go tell this China which introduced Bullet train when per capita income was 2200$ in 2007. Now look at their success due to bullet train. It’s not bhakts its assholes like you .
Good to read positive news – there seems a dearth and disinclination across media to highlight development. DFC will increase job opportunities and growth. I hope Railways also reclaim their land from encroachers and beautify it.
Average speed will increase from 25 to 75 kmph, so 3 times speed.
Length of frieght trains to be almost double, so 2 times.
And goods will be double decker. So again 2.
And weight capacity to be increased from 22 tons to 25 tons pwr axel. 1.136 times.
Total 3*2*2*1.136 = 13.632 times
That is development.
Congress goverment never wanted to work, they only wanted to run the government…Congress ka fanda hai sab miljul ke raaj karo bas…Election time pe loan maaf ke vaade karke vote lelo aur raaj krte raho bas…Kaam se koi lena dena nai.

India is very Very fortunate to have a PM like Modi??, congress just looted India and appeasement to Muslims all these years from 1947.
Congress goverment never wanted to work, they only wanted to run the government…Congress ka fanda hai sab miljul ke raaj karo bas…Election time pe loan maaf ke vaade karke vote lelo aur raaj krte raho bas…Kaam se koi lena dena nai.
