The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved eight railway infrastructure projects worth more than Rs 20,000 crore, aimed at expanding track capacity, easing congestion and improving connectivity across several states.
The projects, cleared on Wednesday, include new railway lines and multi-tracking works across more than 20 districts. Together, they are expected to add around 1,200 km to the Indian Railways network and improve the movement of both passengers and freight.
