Electrification: Revised 2019-20 Targets for CR, All of Pune – Miraj – Kolhapur route to be completed this year

The Railway Board has reviewed Electrification targets and has come up with revised quarterly commissioning targets for every zone.

RB had earlier set a steep target of over ten thousand kilometres of route to be electrified in 2019-20 across IR.

With the revision of targets, new sections added to this year’s schedule. These include Jasai – Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, Miraj – Kolhapur and Kirloskarwadi – Miraj. The total route km to be electrified on CR in 2019-20 has now increased from 722 km to 859 km.

Below are the revised targets and expected timelines for commissioning of electrification for Central Railway:

  1. What is the use? The targets were never intended to be achieved or laggards ever punished. Targets are meant only for postponement and revision afterwards. Nobody is bothered in central railway at least.
