Great episode! Many thanks to Sudhanshu Mani ji for sharing the growth, achievements and the misplaced priorities of the IR. The. railway ministry needs to focus on: 1. Upgrading tracks on the Vande Bharat routes to 160 kmph 2. Provide Escalators and Elevators (Lifts) at all stations that have good foot-fall. 3. Provide golf carts for moving around the old, unwell and other passengers who cannot walk. 4. Introduce an app with multiple passenger friendly services. 5. Partner with Ola, Uber and other cab comapnies to provide hasslefree station to home ride services.

[@sunilvarmadatla]

This shows Congress govt never thought of improving infrastructure but rather add more and high speed trains on existing infrastructure. But there is always limit if you are not to improve infrastructure. That is the reason there is no improvement in speed and comfort since Rajdhani was introduced in 1970s. Now govt is separating goods trains with diamond quadrilateral project. Once it completes there will be less traffic on existing tracks and trains will be on time.

@@ManiSudhanshu thank you for all the service sir. I watched your vande Bharat episode as well, and have been a avid traveller and appreciator or the massive challenges railway is trying to address. Only recently I travelled in sleeper from Delhi to hapur to see has the situation really changed in the railway after so much investment, but it is fair to say we are still many many years away from the day when every passenger is able to travel with respect in Indian railway. Thank you for your service and I hope you get a chance to effect change at the top levels in the government. Best of luck sir, India is grateful to have you as a citizen.

Slower trains removed ie under avg speeds of 80kmph those who don't travel 60kmph ie can't cover 100 in 1.30min must B removed instead of congesting or jamming tracks all trains must B brought to min 120kmph runs ie stops restricted to 5 for local 1hr 2hr trains by either 10/20kms per stop ie 5 mins allocated to stops n 55 min run..... Take any drm in the last 5 yrs of retirement allocate them to improve and bring atleast 100 sections or 5 section of 400kms allocated to each to upgrade to min achieving 100kms audited for all rakes to cross over per hr every 400kms in 4hrs inclusive of stops...

The Indian Railways, one of the largest railway networks globally, operates over 126,000 kilometers of track, serving more than 23 million passengers daily through approximately 13,169 passenger trains and 8,479 freight trains. Annually, it transports more than 1.2 billion tons of freight, making it a vital component of the nation’s economy Historical Context and Growth Established in 1853, the Indian Railways has significantly evolved. By 1880, the network expanded to about 15,000 kilometers, primarily to address economic needs such as famine relief. By 1947, post-independence, the rail network grew to nearly 54,000 kilometers, compared to China's 27,000 kilometers, of which only 8,000 kilometers were operational due to civil strife. Since then, China has rapidly expanded its railway system to over 110,000 kilometers, while India has only added around 11,000 kilometers in the same period, highlighting a crucial lag in infrastructure development. Recent Developments Infrastructure Enhancements Between 2014 and 2024, the Indian government has undertaken significant infrastructure projects: Track Renewal and Doubling : 25,000 kilometers of tracks were renewed, and 14,000 kilometers were doubled to enhance capacity and reduce congestion. Safety Upgrades Implementation of advanced signaling systems, including the Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and Centralized Traffic Control (CTC), at 1,600 stations has improved operational efficiency and safety. Safety Improvements Safety has been a critical focus. From 1995 to 2005, the railways faced 20 collisions and 350 derailments annually. However, under the current government: - Total accidents decreased from 1,711 under previous administrations to 638. - Accidents per million train kilometers reduced from 0.29 to 0.037. - The number of derailments fell from 867 to 426, and fatalities dropped from 2,453 to 781. Passenger Amenities Passenger experience has also been prioritized: - Introduction of modern trains like the Vande Bharat Express and upgrades to existing coaches have enhanced safety and comfort. Over 5,000 coaches have been retrofitted with modern amenities, such as bio-toilets, LED lighting, and charging points. - A robust digital infrastructure has been established through the IRCTC mobile app, allowing for paperless ticketing and QR code-based systems, streamlining the ticketing process and reducing fraud. Connectivity and Economic Growth Network Expansion The Indian Railways has focused on expanding connectivity, especially in rural and remote areas. Recent initiatives include: - Adding 10,000 kilometers of new lines to previously underserved regions, improving economic opportunities. - Projects like the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link aim to connect the Kashmir Valley with the rest of India, enhancing mobility and economic prospects. Strategic Rail Lines The government has also developed rail infrastructure in strategic border areas: - Approximately 3,500 kilometers of new lines have been introduced in these regions to support defense logistics and regional development. - Dedicated Freight Corridors, such as the Western and Eastern DFCs, have been implemented to bolster the movement of goods, improving logistical efficiency in strategic locations. The Indian Railways has seen transformative improvements over the past decade, focusing on infrastructure, safety, and passenger services. With ambitious plans for complete electrification by 2030, these advancements not only enhance operational efficiency but also position the Indian Railways as a key player in the country’s economic development. The significant reduction in accidents and improvements in passenger amenities underscore the commitment to creating a safer and more reliable transportation system. As these developments continue, the vision of a modern and green railway network becomes increasingly attainable.

Diesel locomotive have 30 to 35% efficiency whereas electric powered are 85 to 90% efficiency in converting into mechanical energy, as 35 to 40% energy coming is renewable and is said to increase more, electrification of railways is need of the hour. Climate change effects will more severe if we not reduce green house gas emmissions.

[@toyashparashar6429]

Can the safety and security of the railways be like airports or like metro where u cannot enter the station without going through the security and also you have to show your tickets to enter inside

[@ravinagaraj7003]

On the subject of track speed. it appears even newer tracks in India are laid on the original alignment, thus not supporting faster transit. In that case, electrifying these tracks may result in increasing the cost of a do-over with alignment for faster speeds.

[@atulvyas12027]

DFCs are important.

[@PEAPPS]

Here are some enhanced facts about India's Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs) with specific details Construction Timeline : The construction of DFCs began during the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012) after the establishment of the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL) in 2006. The project was initiated to separate freight from passenger traffic and improve operational efficiency. Routes Key Corridors : The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC) spans approximately 1,873 kilometers from Ludhiana in Punjab to Dankuni in West Bengal. The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) stretches around 1,506 kilometers from Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Mumbai to Dadri in Uttar Pradesh. Benefits Economic Impact : DFCs are expected to reduce logistics costs from 13-15% of GDP to about 8%, enhancing the competitiveness of Indian industries. They facilitate the movement of goods over long distances, benefiting sectors such as manufacturing and agriculture. New DFCs Future Expansion: Plans include three new corridors: the North-South corridor (Itarsi to Tenali), East-West corridor (Andal to Palgarh), and East Coast corridor. These will collectively cover significant distances across multiple states, further enhancing freight connectivity. Technology Advanced Systems : DFCs utilize high-capacity, high-speed electric trains with double-stacking capabilities for container transport, significantly improving transit times and energy efficiency. Operational Status Current Operations : As of April 2024, the EDFC is fully operational while the WDFC is approximately 93.2% complete. Together, they handle around 325 trains daily, with an optimum capacity of 480 trains. Environmental Impact Sustainability Goals : The DFCs aim to reduce carbon emissions by shifting freight transport from road to rail, which is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Financial Aspects Investment : The combined project value for the new corridors is estimated at ₹2 trillion, with significant investments already made in infrastructure development. The DFC initiative represents a transformative step for India's logistics sector, enhancing efficiency and supporting economic growth through improved freight transport capabilities.

[@belanidp]

Railways make 50,000 crore revenue from passenger traffic. Here is a crazy idea. Pay Rs. 10,000 for unlimited rail travel. Family of 4 pays Rs. 40,000. Do you think 7 Crore persons (5% the population) will pay Rs. 10,000 for unlimited rail travel. This will give 70,000 crore revenue to railways. The idea can be refined. there will be more revenue from balance 95% population. Like Sir Maniji says do you want the common man travel in train thru 40 degrees temp in train which is like oven with crowd like cattle. that is not vikasit Bharat. All trains should be air conditioned. raising revenue could be from advertisements, rent from commercial areas within stations etc.

Mani ji I was surprised to know your views on work speed. Your were not supporting speed in electrification of rail routes on your personal thinking. But ob other hand you are not satisfied with speed in railway tracks upgradation, you are ignoring fact that always there is traffic on tracks.

If rrts takes 1hr to travel 160kmph abt time india established 240kmph rrts like propulsion ND atempt made nd commitment made to commission such trainsets that will do 240kmph as short run ie 250kms run in 1-1 30 min w 5 stops every 40-50kms and run 360 deg of any major Indian city along with 1hr trains ie 120kms with 10-20kms stops as an adjunct for slower bus lines thr by both freight ND ro ro can also B done in the night or other such specific time slot appropriate and another 2 lines ballast less inserted in an attempt to c that fast trains can B run esp in 200kms inserted to upgrade to hsr like wr 180knph tracks can't B achieved,.... Fast train money achieved shd B employed in a daily basis for track development every 10 vande bharat earnings and B diverted along with railways or rbi interest free loans to infrastructure committnent for transforming railways urgently... Even now simple ❤things like running multiple vb to achieve 3hr advantages on 700km travel is achievable so kindly increase the productivity of vb to 16coach ND 12-15nos vande per month so that in a year approx 5percent trains can B speeded up.... Fast input faster moolah for the railways.. Also hubs for sleeper ND vb dual ticket made available ie options shd B provided for any empty seats to longer traveling express ND other 1,2,3 ac passengers to travel vb for 8hrs.... Thr by decreasing 3hrs for any passenger at single go w complinentary travel in both directions ❤Absolutely all vb must B run 20hrs a day w 4hrs maintenance schedule adhered towards as sop for max utilization of rake strength

Why sleeper Coaches reduces now days?

[@ManiSudhanshu]

Yes, a matter of concern

[@ashwanikumartiwari9446]

@@ManiSudhanshu I travelling on Somnath Express from Ahmedabad to Jabalpur regularly, 2 years ago Sleeper Coaches no. was 9 to 10 then I got confirmed ticket with less crowd but now Sleeper Coaches no. is 5 because of that I force take ticket in 3E/3rd AC not want confirmation but in sleeper we are unable to take our seats in sleeper compartment because of crowd. In conclusion Govt give so much priority on Station Redevelopment which is good but travelling smoothness should need More attention.

In Railways, there is no such post exist . If you dont know the structure of any organization, you need to leran first and then comment . In Indian Railways, There is a body called Railway Board and this body is the top authority after the Railway Minister. He got retired at the post of G.M. from Indian Railways , which is also a very big post in Indian Railways. ​@@ManiSudhanshu

@shubhamsrivastava8368 then it should be created at some level as lateral entry is now allowed by the government.
