South Central Railway (SCR) added 383.85 km to its rail network, bringing rail connectivity to several new areas, and also electrified a 1,017 route km during 2022-23, the highest addition in a financial year, said general manager Arun Kumar Jain on Friday.
Addressing officers and staff on the occasion of the 68th railway week at Rail Nilayam, he said several steps have been taken to enhance capacity and maximum speed along all the routes in the Golden Quadrilateral and Golden Diagonal.
The zone has been continuously easing the congestion on its network by modifying major yards, creating intermediate signals, commissioning longer loops and removing permanent speed restrictions among others. Earnings during the last financial year (2022-23) touched ₹21,635.49 crore, which is the highest in its history.
