# Rail transport in Haryana

Rail transport in the state of Haryana, India, is conducted by five rail divisions in three zones: the North Western Railway zone (the Bikaner and Jaipur railway divisions), Northern Railway zone (the Delhi and Ambala railway divisions), and North Central Railway zone (the Agra railway division). The Diamond Quadrilateral high-speed rail network, Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor, and Western Dedicated Freight Corridor pass through Haryana.

## History
### 19th century

On 3 March 3 1859, the Allahabad-Kanpur line (North India's first passenger railway line) opened; it is now part of the Northern Railway zone. Tracks passing through Haryana were completed in 1864, when a broad gauge track from Calcutta to Delhi was laid. In 1866, trains started running on the East Indian Railway Company's Howrah-Delhi line. In 1870, the Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railway completed its 483-kilometre (300 mi) long Amritsar-Ambala-Jagadhri-Saharanpur-Ghaziabad line connecting Multan (in present-day Pakistan) with Delhi. The Sarai Rohilla railway station was built in 1872, when the metre gauge railway line from Delhi to Jaipur and Ajmer was laid. It was a small station just outside Delhi, which was then a walled city. All metre-gauge trains between Delhi and Rewari, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat passed through Sarai Rohilla. Metre-gauge track from Delhi to Rewari and Ajmer was laid in 1873 by the Rajputana State Railway.
In 1884, the Rajputana-Malwa Railway extended the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in)-wide (metre-gauge) Delhi-Rewari section of its Delhi–Fazilka line to Bathinda. It became the Delhi-Bathinda-Samasatta line, and was opened by the Southern Punjab Railway Company in 1897. The line passed through the Muktasar and Fazilka tehsils and connected Samma Satta (in present-day Pakistan) directly to Karachi. The Bathinda-Rewari metre-gauge line was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)-wide broad gauge in 1994.
The Delhi-Panipat-Ambala-Kalka line was opened in 1891. The 610 mm (2 ft)-wide narrow gauge Kalka-Shimla Railway, built by the Delhi-Panipat-Ambala-Kalka Railway Company, opened in 1903. In 1905, the line became 762 mm (2 ft 6 in)-wide narrow gauge.

### 20th century

In 1900, the Jodhpur–Bikaner line was merged with the Jodhpur-Hyderabad Railway. Part of this railway is in present-day Pakistan, with connections to Hyderabad in Sindh. In 1901–1902, the line was extended to Bathinda to connect it with the metre-gauge section of the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway and the metre gauge of the North Western Railway Delhi–Fazilka line via Hanumangarh. On the Indian border, it was later converted to broad gauge. Mahatma Gandhi was arrested at the Palwal station on his way to Punjab for an April 1919 non-cooperation movement meeting, and a six-foot commemorative statue of Gandhi was installed in October 2013.
In 1926, the New Delhi railway station opened to serve the new imperial capital. Before the capital was founded in 1911, the Old Delhi Railway Station served the city. The Agra-Delhi railway line ran through Lutyens' Delhi, known for its India Gate war memorial and the Rajpath, but was moved to the Yamuna river and opened in 1924 to make way for the new capital. The Minto (Shivaji) and Hardinge (Tilak) rail bridges were built for the rerouting.
The East Indian Railway Company, who oversaw railways in the region, sanctioned the construction of a single-story building with one platform between Ajmeri Gate and Paharganj in 1926; this was later known as New Delhi railway station. Government plans to have the station built inside the Central Park of Connaught Place were rejected by the rail company as impractical.
Work continued after the station opened, and the New Delhi Capital works project to construct 4.79 miles (7.71 km) of new lines was completed in 1927 and 1928. The viceroy and royal retinue entered the city through the new station during the 1931 New Delhi inauguration. New structures were added to the station, and the original building became the parcel office.
On 5 November 1951, the Jodhpur–Bikaner line was merged with the Western Railway. Construction began to convert its metre gauge to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge and build a link to Phulera, and it was the Jodhpur–Merta City–Bikaner–Bathinda line by 2008. On April 14, 1952, the Northern Railway zone was created with the merger of the Jodhpur State, Bikaner State and Eastern Punjab Railways and three East Indian Railway divisions northwest of Mughalsarai, Uttar Pradesh.
In 1976-77, the Ghaziabad-Nizamuddin-New Delhi-Delhi line was electrified. On 1 July 1987, the Ambala railway division was created when 639 km of tracks were transferred from the Delhi Division and 348 km were transferred from the Firozpur Division; it became operational on 15 August 1988. Sixty-two percent of the division is in Punjab, with the rest in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chandigarh. The division has 141 stations, including the World Heritage Site Kalka Shimla Railway.
Electrification continued during the 1990s, and the Sabjimandi-Karnal sector was electrified between 1992 and 1995. The Ambala-Chandigarh sector was electrified in 1998 and 1999 and was followed by Chandigarh-Kalka, electrified in 1999 and 2000.
Before December 1994, the Delhi-Rewari line had double metre-gauge tracks; that year, one track was converted to broad gauge as part of the Ajmer-Delhi line conversion. Both tracks between the Sarai Rohilla and Delhi railway stations were converted to broad gauge within a few years, and metre-gauge trains stopped operating from the Delhi station.

### 21st century

The North Western Railway zone was created on 1 October 2002, followed by the North Central Railway zone on 1 April 2003. The second metre-gauge track from Sarai Rohilla to Rewari was converted to broad gauge by September 2006, and metre-gauge trains stopped operating between the stations; the converted track opened for public use in October 2007. Broad-gauge conversions were adjusted for the Bikaner–Rewari line between 2008 and 2011, and for the metre-gauge Hisar-Sadulpur section in 2009.
A 104-km survey for the Panipat–Meerut line was part of the 2010–11 rail budget. The project, costing ₹948 crore, was approved in the 2017-18 budget. New lines were built and opened in 2013. The Chandigarh–Sahnewal line (also known as the Ludhiana-Chandigarh rail link) was inaugurated, the broad-gauge, electrified Rewari–Rohtak line was built, and the foundation stone for the shifting of a section of the Rohtak-Gohana-Panipat line was laid.
A re-survey of the Yamunanagar–Chandigarh line, costing ₹25 crore, was part of the 2016–17 rail budget. The total cost of the project was ₹875 crore. In the 2017-18 rail budget, Indian Railways approved the Panipat-Jind line and Panipat-Rohtak line electrification plans costing ₹980 core. A Panipat-Shamli-Baghpat-Meerut line was approved for ₹2,200 crore.
By December 2017, 6,095 GPS-enabled Fog Pilot Assistance System railway-signaling devices had been installed in the Northern, North Central, North Eastern and North Western Railway zones. The devices ended the practice of putting firecrackers on train tracks to alert train drivers to reduce speed; the location of signals, level-crossing gates and other such markers is known in advance. The Rewari Railway Heritage Museum, built in 1893, is India's only surviving steam locomotive shed.

#### Semi-high-speed rail (160-200 km/h)

The Delhi-Agra and Delhi-Chandigarh routes will be converted to an average speed of 160–200 km per hour.

##### Rapid Rail Transport System (RRTS)

The under-construction Delhi-Alwar RRTS and Delhi-Sonepat-Panipat RRTS will pass through Haryana. In December 2017, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation signed cooperation agreements with Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias (Spain's state-owned company) and Société nationale des chemins de fer français (France's state-owned company) to develop rapid-rail smart projects. The Delhi-Meerut, Delhi-Panipat and Delhi-Alwar Smart Lines have been prioritized for inclusion in the first phase of NCR RRTS, and will operate from Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi. With a 180-km/h design speed, 160-km/h operational speed and 100-km/h average speed, six-car trains carrying 1,154 passengers will run every 5 to 10 minutes on underground or elevated tracks where passengers will not have to change trains. Thirty-five to 40 percent of funding will be from the central and state governments, with the remaining 60 percent from multilateral funding agencies. The Delhi-Alwar line will have 19 stations: nine underground stations from ISBT Kashmere Gate to Kherki Daula and 10 elevated stations on its 124.5-km route.

#### High-speed rail (200-500 km/h)

The Diamond Quadrilateral's Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi–Amritsar high-speed rail lines, via Sohna-Rewari-Narnaul, will pass through Haryana. The Ministry of Railways established the High Speed Rail Corporation of India Limited on February 12, 2016, to promote high-speed rail corridors. The ministry's "Vision 2020" white paper envisages regional high-speed rail projects to provide service at 250–350 km/h, and plans for corridors connecting commercial, tourist, and pilgrimage hubs. Six corridors have been identified for technical studies on high-speed elevated-rail corridors, including two in Haryana.

### Metro service

* Gurugram-Manesar Yellow Line extension: To the Manesar industrial township in the west
* Balramgrah (Faridabad)-Palwal Violet Line extension: From Balramgarh (Ballabhgarh) to Palwal district headquarters

## Multimodal transport

Five Multimodal Transit Centres (MMTCs) are being built along the Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE) near railway stations, metro, RRTS and national highways:
* Sonipat: Kundli MMTS, between the Rajiv Gandhi Education City RRTS station and the WPE interchange
* Bahadurgarh MMTS, between the Bahadurgarh bus stand and metro station
* Ballabhgarh MMTS, between the Ballabhgarh metro station, the bus stand and the railway station
* Panchagaon Chowk MMTS, between the proposed metro station and the Gurugram RRTS station
* Kherki Daula MMTS, near the proposed metro station, the Delhi-Alwar RRTS station and the bus stand at the junction of Chhapra and Naihati villages.

### Logistics hubs

* IMLH Nangal Choudhary, in Mahendragarh district, with US$3.3 billion (₹86,000 crore) in initial investment, is an integrated multimodal logistics hub in Nangal Choudhary which is part of the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project.
* IMT Kundli, in Sonepat district, is part of the DMIC on the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) and in the influence zone of the Amritsar–Kolkata Industrial Corridor (ADKIC) on the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC).
* IMT Manesar, in Faridabad district, had over US$10 billion invested by 2017 and is part of the DMIC on the WDFC and in the influence zone of the ADKIC on the EDFC.
* IMT Bawal, in Rewari district, is an industrial centre which has been developed by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC). It is part of the DMIC on the WDFC, and is in the influence zone of the ADKIC on the EDFC.

## Issues

Issues include a lack of progress on announced projects, comprehensive long-term transport-needs analysis and planning, funding, connectivity, integration with multimodal transport, effective use of existing infrastructure (such as integrated logistics and industrial hubs), and land acquisition.
