NCR Increases Maximum Speed on Panki Dham to Bhaupur 3rd Line to 130 kmph

Prayagraj, 14th August 2024 – In a significant milestone for Indian Railways, the North Central Railway (NCR) has successfully increased the maximum permissible speed on the Panki Dham to Bhaupur third line to 130 kmph. This upgrade makes Prayagraj the first division in Indian Railways to operate trains at such a high speed on a third line, aside from the mainlines. The move is expected to enhance the efficiency of train operations and reduce travel time for passengers on this busy corridor.

Historic Achievement for Prayagraj Division

The Prayagraj division, known for its strategic importance within the Indian Railways network, has once again set a benchmark by achieving this milestone. The third line between Panki Dham and Bhaupur, which previously had a maximum speed limit of 110 kmph, has now been upgraded to 130 kmph, marking a significant improvement in the division’s operational capabilities.

This development is particularly noteworthy as it represents the first instance where a third track, apart from the mainlines, has been authorized to run trains at such high speeds. This achievement underscores the technical expertise and operational efficiency of the Prayagraj division, which continues to lead the way in modernizing rail infrastructure in India.

Enhanced Speed and Efficiency

The increase in speed on this section of the railway is expected to result in faster train operations and improved punctuality, benefiting thousands of passengers who travel through this corridor daily. The Panki Dham to Bhaupur section is a vital link in the NCR, handling a significant volume of both passenger and freight traffic. The ability to operate trains at 130 kmph on this third line will help decongest the mainlines, allowing for smoother and more efficient train movements.

ing the eastern and western parts of the country. The enhanced speed capability will not only benefit passenger services but also improve the efficiency of freight operations, which are crucial for the economic connectivity of the region.

By increasing the speed on this third line, the NCR has demonstrated its commitment to adopting cutting-edge solutions to meet the growing demands on its network. This upgrade is part of a broader strategy to modernize rail infrastructure across the division and enhance the overall capacity of the railway system.

Future Prospects

The success of this speed enhancement sets a precedent for similar upgrades across other divisions of Indian Railways. As rail traffic continues to grow, the ability to run trains at higher speeds on third tracks will be increasingly important in maintaining efficient and reliable service.

Railway officials have expressed confidence that the improved speed will lead to better service outcomes and contribute to the overall growth and modernization of the Indian Railways network. The Prayagraj division’s pioneering efforts in this regard are likely to serve as a model for other divisions to follow.

Official Remarks

A senior NCR official stated, "This achievement is a testament to the dedication and technical proficiency of our team. The successful increase in the speed limit on the Panki Dham to Bhaupur third line to 130 kmph is a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to enhance rail operations. We are proud to be the first division in Indian Railways to accomplish this feat, and we are confident that it will greatly benefit our passengers and the overall efficiency of our services."

Passengers and freight operators alike can look forward to the benefits of this upgrade as NCR continues to push the boundaries of rail infrastructure development in India.
