NEW DELHI: Indian Railways said that if all goes as planned, the distance between Mumbai and Delhi will be covered in just 13 hours and it is possible as early as 2024. Presently, Rajdhani Express, the only premier train on this route, takes around 16 hours.
An official for Western Railways said that all the work, including track work, upgradation of signalling systems, and overhead equipment, is in full swing. He added that half of the work is completed already and rest of it will be done by March 2024. The speed of trains on this route will touch 160 kmph after completion of construction work, and the average speed will cross the 100 kmph mark.
Officials hope that after the completion of project, the flyers will prefer to travel by train as they can be connected to internet at all times. According to officials, the number of sleepers (which keep two tracks in place) will also be increased and around 100 more tracks will be added to a one-kilometre track stretch.
