The Konkan Railway Corporation has finished electrification of its entire 741-kilometer route that stretches from Roha, Maharashtra to Thokur, Karnataka.
This electrification of the 741-kilometer stretch will bring about savings of fuel amounting to Rs 150 crore.
It will also reduce the dependence on diesel along with ensuring pollution-free, seamless operations.
By December 2023, the Indian Railways have plans for 100 percent electrification of its broad-gauge network.
Mumbai is connected with Mangalore via the Konkan Railway.
The Konkan Railways line passes through Goa, Maharashtra, and Karnataka along the country’s western coast.
