The Sunday Guardian
|December 28, 2025
In a major push to meet rapidly growing passenger demand, Indian Railways has announced plans to double the train origination capacity of major cities over the next five years, with the target set for completion by 2030.
The initiative aims to reduce congestion at busy stations, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen nationwide rail connectivity.
The Ministry of Railways has identified 48 major cities under the expansion plan.
"In view of the rapid sustained growth in demand for travel, the capacity of major cities to originate new trains needs to be doubled from the current level in the next 5 years.
The current infrastructure serving needs to be augmented so as to meet the requirements of upcoming years," the Ministry of Railways said in a statement.
