India is modernising its railway network for a sustainable future
On a crisp morning in February 2019, passengers boarding the Vande Bharat Express from Delhi to Varanasi marvelled at the sleek, aerodynamic design of the high-speed train. For many, this journey represented more than just a faster commute. It was a symbol of India's railway revolution. As the first Vande Bharat glided effortlessly past urban landscapes and lush countryside, it showcased a transportation network undergoing unprecedented modernisation, placing India firmly on the global map of high-speed, sustainable rail travel. Boasting the fourth-largest railway system in the world, following the US, Russia, and China, Indian Railways has embarked on an ambitious journey of modernisation, aimed at improving efficiency, sustainability, and passenger experience. With 13,523 passenger trains and 9,146 freight trains daily on its network (as of 2024), and over 68,000 kilometers of track and more than 7,400 stations, the system transports more than 8 billion passengers annually. To keep up with new developments, the network is undergoing a transformation that is setting new benchmarks in mobility. High-speed trains The introduction of the Vande Bharat Express, India's first semi-high-speed train, marks a significant leap forward. Capable of reaching speeds up to 180 km/h, these trains offer modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, onboard infotainment, and better passenger comfort. As of February 2025, more than 130 Vande Bharat trains have been introduced across the country, connecting key cities and reducing travel time significantly. The Indian government plans to roll out 400 more Vande Bharat trains in the coming years, reinforcing its commitment to next-generation rail transport. Electrification Indian Railways is rapidly moving towards full electrification of its network. It is advancing the electrification of Broad Gauge railway lines rapidly, achieving approximately 97 per cent electrification of its total Broad Gauge network, with a target to achieve 100% electrification by 2030. This shift not only reduces dependency on fossil fuels but also significantly cuts down carbon emissions, making rail travel cleaner and more energy-efficient. Hydrogen-powered and green energy trains In its quest for sustainable mobility, India is developing hydrogen-powered trains. The first hydrogen train prototype is expected to be operational this year, reducing dependence on diesel engines and enhancing energy efficiency. Additionally, Indian Railways is integrating solar and wind power into its operations. Several railway stations now feature solar panels, while wind energy projects are being developed to power train operations. Modernising railway stations India's railway stations are also undergoing a significant facelift under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. This initiative aims to redevelop over 1,300 stations with modern amenities, new design, improved accessibility, better waiting lounges, and enhanced cleanliness. Digital transformation and smart railways Indian Railways is embracing technology to enhance operational efficiency and passenger experience. AI-driven predictive maintenance is being deployed to reduce breakdowns and ensure seamless train operations. Additionally, ticketing has gone fully digital, with platforms like IRCTC facilitating easy online bookings. Advanced signaling systems, automatic train control, and real-time tracking are being introduced to boost safety and efficiency. The road to net-zero carbon emissions Indian Railways is on track to becoming a net-zero carbon emitter by 2030, reinforcing India's commitment to sustainability. Initiatives such as bio-toilets in trains, energy-efficient locomotives, and afforestation along railway tracks contribute to this green vision. By leveraging alternative energy sources and promoting sustainable infrastructure, the railways are set to play a pivotal role in India's clean mobility transition. With ambitious modernisation projects, rapid electrification, and a focus on sustainability, India's railway network is emerging as a global model for efficiency and eco-friendly transit.
