CAP: Capital, EBR (P): Extra Budgetary Resource (Partnership), EBR(IF): Extra Budgetary Resource (Institutional Finance)

Every  railway  project  requires  a  number  of  clearances  from  various Ministries and Departments of State/Central Governments. These, inter-alia, include  clearances  inherent  to  land  acquisition,  forestry  clearance  and permission for road and canal crossings and also clearances from Archaeological  Survey  of  India  if  the  alignment  passes  in  vicinity  of  a protected  monument,  local  bodies  for  projects  passing  through  urban areas,  etc  which  are  part  of  project  execution.  Process  of  seeking  the approvals/clearances causes delay in completion of the projects. Further, Budget allotments for the projects are done on yearly basis.   These factors are beyond the control of Ministry of Railways.  Therefore, it is not feasible to fix timelines for completion of railway projects.
