Quick Summary:

In 2023, the ministry did a review of PSRs after it found that while it had started removing PSRs, the addition it did was three times the removal.

In FY25, it was targeted that a section of 2,040 route km was to be equipped for 130 km an hour and in FY24 it was nearly 2,400 route km, marking an almost doubling of speed upgrade targets.

Two months after the Union Budget and following consultations with all railway zones, the ministry has finalised its performance targets for tracks and track-related works.
