## UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.1816 TO BE ANSWERED ON 30.07.2025

## RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE AND SENSITIVE RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY

1816. DR. AMOL RAMSING KOLHE:

Will the Minister of RAILWAYS be pleased to state:

- (a)  whether  there  are  successful  international  examples  of  coexistence between railway infrastructure and sensitive radio astronomy
- observatories;
- (b)  if  so,  the  details  of  technical  solutions,  shielding  technologies,  and regulatory  frameworks  adopted  globally  to  mitigate  Radio  Frequency Interference (RFI) and protect astronomical research;
- (c)  whether  the  Government  is  aware  of  the  concerns  regarding  the proposed Pune-Nashik semi-high-speed rail corridor's proximity to the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) near Pune, if so, the details thereof;
- (d)  whether similar engineering and scientific safeguards can be adapted for  this  corridor  to  ensure  GMRT's  operational  integrity,  if  so,  the  details thereof; and
- (e) whether the Government proposes to conduct a detailed technical and financial  evaluation  of  such  mitigation  strategies  through  a  structured expert committee, in coordination with the Department of Atomic Energy, Department  of  Science  &  Technology,  and  the  National  Centre  for  Radio Astrophysics (NCRA), if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER

MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, INFORMATION & BROADCASTING AND

ELECTRONICS & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

## (SHRI ASHWINI VAISHNAW)

- (a) to (e): The protection from interference is essential to the advancement of radio astronomy and associated measurements. Radio astronomy sites

are chosen specifically to minimize interference from Earth based transmitters.  The  sites  are  usually  at  a  considerable  distance  from  the major  fixed  sources  of  terrestrial  interference  to  make  it  as  free  as possible from interference. So radio astronomy observatories are placed in remote locations that have good natural protection from interference.

For connectivity between Pune and Nashik, DPR was prepared by MRIDC, a Joint Venture company of Government of Maharashtra (50%) and Ministry of  Railways  (50%).  The  proposed  alignment  in  the  DPR  was  passing through  Narayangaon  where  National  Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA),  Pune  has  installed  Giant  Meterwave  Radio  Telescope  (GMRT) observatory.  This  alignment  was  not  found  acceptable  due  to  adverse impact of proposed railway line on operation of the GMRT observatory.
