The no of passenger train is way too many, we need trains which can clear the line faster which can be done by electric trains as it is faster than diesel. Secondly we need alternate source to run the trains, diesel is going to get over which is nothing but a refined product of crude, so electric can be of greater boost.

* IR has taken a very big decision to complete electrification of all BG tracks by 2022, totally based on the economic coonsiderations which the current RM and past RM appreciated well.
