In a major boost to regional rail infrastructure, Indian Railways has approved a ₹163-crore project to upgrade the electric traction system on the Parbhani-Mudkhed section of the South Central Railway.
The initiative will transition 164 track kilometers from the legacy 1x25 kV framework to a modern 2x25 kV system. Situated on the vital HUN Route-9 corridor, the enhanced power infrastructure will allow the Nanded Division to run higher volumes of freight traffic while accommodating faster passenger services, including high-speed Vande Bharat trains. The Ministry noted that this project is a key component of its long-term plan to achieve 3,000 million tonnes in freight volume by 2029–30.
