STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  TO  (e)  OF  STARRED QUESTION  NO.  394  BY  SHRI  RAJESH  KUMAR  DIWAKER  AND  SHRI  ARVIND SAWANT  TO  BE  ANSWERED  IN  LOK  SABHA  ON  29.03.2017  REGARDING  NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS

(a):   Since Railway projects generally straddle over more than one State, these are  neither  surveyed  nor  sanctioned  State-wise.  Survey  for  new  lines,  gauge conversion of Meter Gauge lines to Broad Gauge and feasibility study for Railway Electrification  is  a  continuous  and  ongoing  process of  Indian  Railways  and  are done  based  on  demands  raised  by  State  Governments,  Central  Ministries, Members of Parliament, other public representatives and Railway's own requirement. Projects are taken up on the basis of remunerativeness, last mile connectivity, missing links and alternate routes, augmentation of congested/saturated  lines,  socio-economic  considerations  etc.  depending  upon throwforward  of  ongoing  projects,  overall  availability  of  funds  and  competing demands.

Railway has taken up the work of developing National Rail Plan-2030 to expand the  railway  network  duly  taking  into  consideration  the  representations  and requests from various stakeholders such as various Ministries, State Governments, elected representatives, Industries. All such requirements will be taken into account alongside Railways consideration of operational requirements, bottlenecks, strategic requirements and socio-economic considerations.  For this purpose a website of National Rail Plan-2030 has been launched. Various stake holders and general public may give their suggestions on the website which will be considered while developing the plan.

During the last three years and the current year i.e. 2013-14, 2014-15, 201516  &  2016-17,  surveys  for  176  New  Lines  and  8  Gauge  Conversions  have  been conducted throughout the country including those falling fully/partly in the States of Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.  List of these projects are placed at Appendix-I

As on 01.04.2016, a total of 166 nos. of new line projects totaling 18592 Km, 39 nos. gauge conversion projects totaling 8470 Km and 99 Railway Electrification  projects  totaling  23666  Route  Km  spread  across  the  country including  the  States  of  Uttar  Pradesh  and  Maharashtra  have  been  taken  up. Details of the projects are available in Pink Book laid on the Table of the House alongwith Budget papers. List of these projects are placed at Appendix-II.

(b):  Out of 166 new line projects, 12 projects are falling fully/partly in the State of Uttar Pradesh and 9 projects are falling fully/partly in the State of Maharashtra. Further,  3  projects  falling  fully/partly  in  Maharashtra  and  3  projects  falling fully/partly  in  Uttar  Pradesh  have  been  proposed  in  Budget  2017-18  subject  to requisite approvals.  List of such projects is at Appendix-II & III.

- (c):  (i)  Out  of  39  gauge conversion projects, 5 projects are  falling fully/partly in the State of Uttar Pradesh and 4 projects are  falling fully/partly in the State of Maharashtra.    Further,  3  gauge  conversion  projects  have  been  proposed  in Budget  2017-18  in  the  State  of  Uttar  Pradesh.    List  of  such  projects  is  at Appendix-II & III.
- (ii) Out  of  99  Railway  Electrification  projects,  24  projects  are  falling fully/partly in the State of Uttar Pradesh and 12 projects are falling fully / partly in State  of Maharashtra.  Further  total  11  new  Electrification  projects  falling fully/partly  in  the  State  of  Uttar  Pradesh,  and  4  new  Railway  Electrification projects  falling  fully/partly  in  the  State  of  Maharashtra  have  been  proposed  for inclusion in Budget 2017-18.  List of such projects is at Appendix-II & III.

(d):  Target length of various Railway Projects is fixed on annual basis.  For 201617,  a  target  of  2800  Km  for  commissioning  of  new  track  has  been  fixed.  For Electrification, a target of 2000 Kms has been fixed.

(e):  Yes, Madam. The work on two Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFC) i.e. Western DFC  (Jawaharlal  Nehru  Port  to  Dadri-1504  Km)  and  Eastern  DFC  (Ludhiana  to Dankuni-1856 Km) has already been taken up for implementation.

For expediting the Freight movement following additional freight corridors have been  identified  (i)  East-West  Corridor  (2328  kms)  (Kolkata-Mumbai);  (ii)  NorthSouth Corridor (2343 km) (Delhi-Chennai); and (iii) East Coast Corridor (1114 km) (Kharagpur-Vijaywada). These will relieve the existing corridors of fast growing freight traffic and make them available for introduction of more passenger trains.
