Indian Railways has established procedures of inspection as stipulated in various Codes, Manuals etc. Inspections are carried out by various officials regularly  as  per  schedule.  These  projects  are  monitored  at  various  levels such  as  Division,  Zone  and  Railway  Board  etc.  Further,  for  effective monitoring  of  projects,  Indian  Railways  has  also  developed  a  dedicated portal- Indian Railways Projects Sanctions & Management (IRPSM). Various critical aspects of projects such as land acquisition, statutory clearances and fund availability are monitored through IRPSM.

Completion of Railway project/s depends on various factors which include the following:

-  Land acquisition by State Government
-  Forest clearance
-  Shifting of infringing utilities

-  Statutory clearances from various authorities
-  Geological and topographical conditions of area
-  Law and order situation in the area of project site
-  Number of working months in a year for particular project site etc.

All these factors affect the completion time and cost of the project/s

## Railway Electrification :

Electrification of railway network on Indian Railways has been taken up in mission mode. So far, about 99.4% of Broad Gauge (BG) network has been electrified.  The  electrification  in  remaining  network  has  been  taken  up. Electrification carried out during 2014-25 and before 2014 is as under:

In,  Northern  Railway  (7590  RKM), North  Central Railway (4369 RKM) and North Eastern Railway (32 RKM); 100% of BG network has been electrified. Further,  all  new  line  /  multitracking  projects  are  being  sanctioned  and constructed with electrification.

## ROB/RUBs

Sanctioning of works of Road over Bridge (ROB)/Road under Bridge (RUB) in lieu of Level crossings (LCs) is a continuous and dynamic process of Indian Railway. Such works are prioritised and taken up on the basis of its impact on safety in train operations, mobility of trains & impact for road users and feasibility etc.

| NER   |                        2486 |

Completion of any ROB/RUB work depends on various factors like, fixing of approach alignment, approval of General Arrangement Drawing (GAD), land acquisition,  removal of encroachment,  shifting of infringing utilities, statutory  clearances  from  various  authorities,  law  and  order  situation  in the  area of project / work sites, number of working months in a year for particular  project  /  work  sites  due  to  climatic  conditions  etc.  All  these factors affect the completion time of the projects / works.

Further, Railways have taken following measures to expedite the progress of work:

- i. Joint  survey  with  concerned  State  Govt./Road  Owning  Authority  is done  before  finalizing  the  General  Arrangement  Drawing   (GAD)  to ensure smooth execution.
- ii. Periodic meetings of Railway & State Government officials are done to resolve various issues related to ROB/RUB works.
- iii. Standardization of superstructure drawings for various combinations of  span,  skewness  and  width  of  road  on  Railway  portion  has  been done to avoid delays during the design approval. This has been issued in  the form of compendium, which can be directly adopted for Road Over Bridge across Railway lines for expeditious planning.

## Amrit Bharat Stations:

Development / redevelopment / upgradation / modernisation of stations on Indian Railways is a continuous and ongoing process and works in this  regard  are  undertaken  as  per  requirement,  subject  to  inter-se priority and availability of funds. Development  / redevelopment  / upgradation  /  modernisation  of  a  station  is  carried  out  based  on category of station/condition/traffic handled etc.

Ministry  of  Railways  has  launched  Amrit  Bharat  Station  Scheme  for redevelopment of stations with a long-term approach.

The scheme involves preparation of master plans and their implementation in phases to improve the stations. The master planning includes:

- Improvement of access to station and circulating areas
- Integration of station with both sides of city
- Improvement of station building
- Improvement of  waiting  halls,  toilets,  sitting  arrangement,  water booths
- Provision  of  wider  foot  over  bridge/air  concourse  commensurate with passenger traffic
- Provision of lift/escalators/ramp
- Improvement /Provision of platform surface and cover over platforms
- Provision of kiosks for  local  products through schemes like  'One Station One Product'
- Parking areas, Multimodal integration
- Amenities for Divyangjans
- Better passenger information systems

- Provision  of  executive  lounges,  nominated  spaces  for  business meetings, landscaping, etc. keeping in view the necessity at each station.

The  scheme  also  envisages  sustainable  and  environment  friendly solutions, provision of ballastless tracks etc. as per necessity, phasing and  feasibility  and  creation  of  city  centre  at  the  station  in  the  long term.

## Completed stations:

So  far,  1,338  stations  have  been  identified  for  development  under  the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. Northern Railway, North Central Railway and  North  Eastern  Railway  serve  the  following  states  and  name  of Amrit Bhartar Stations in these states are as under:-

Indian Railways has a well established mechanism to monitor implementation of projects including their reviews, inspection, check for quality  of  works  and  audits.  Works  are  carried  out  adhering  to  the standards  and  specifications  laid  down  in  various  codes  and  manuals. Inspections/audits/checks  are  carried  out  from  time  to  time  by  various agencies/officials/multi-disciplinary  teams  as  per  laid  down  instructions and actions for correction including damages are taken immediately. This is a continuous and ongoing process.

Development  /  Upgradation  of  railway  stations  is  complex  in  nature involving  safety  of  passengers  &  trains  and  requires  various  statutory clearances such as fire clearance, heritage, tree cutting, airport clearance etc. The progress also gets affected due to brownfield related challenges

such  as  shifting  of  utilities  (involving  water/sewage  lines,  optical  fibre cables, gas pipe lines, power/signal cables, etc.), infringements, operation of trains without hindering passenger movement, speed restrictions due to works carried out in close proximity of tracks and high voltage power lines, etc. and these factors affect the completion time.

Further, development / upgradation / modernization of stations including Amrit  Bharat  Station  Scheme  is  generally  funded  under  Plan  Head-53 'Customer Amenities'. The details of allocation and expenditure under Plan Head-53 are maintained Zonal Railway-wise and not work-wise or station-wise or state-wise.

For Northern railway, an allocation (Revised Estimate) of ₹ 5,867 crore has been  made  for  the  last  four  years  and  current  year,  out  of  which  an expenditure of ₹ 5,130 crore (up to February, 2026) has been incurred so far.

North  Central  Railway,  an  allocation  (Revised  Estimate)  of  ₹  2,933  crore has been made for the last four years and current year, out of which an expenditure of ₹ 2,523 (up to February, 2026) crore has been incurred so far.

North  Eastern  Railway,  an  allocation  (Revised  Estimate)  of  ₹  1,366  crore has  been  made  the  last  four  years  and  current  year,  out  of  which  an expenditure of ₹ 1,359 (up to February, 2026) crore has been incurred so far.
