KR DOUBLING & ELECTRIFICATION:

#KR has been in the news lately when they disclosed their plans for #Doubling & #Electrification of Konkan Railway. The salient features are as under:

1.
...
more...
The project survey will be completed in 1 month from date. So max by Nov end we will be able to get in depth details of the project.

2. The cost of Doubling will be Rs. 15000 crore or approx. Rs. 20 crore per km.

3. The cost of Electrification will be Rs. 600 crore

4. The project is expected to get completed in say 4 to 5 years max.

5. The govt will have to write off Rs. 3000 crore loss of KR and give it a big push so that this project can be started.

For the challenges, benefits and comments alike, I roll the dice onto the forum....

P.S. Tagged under CBD Belapur - The HQ of KR

Also before going for doubling etc, it would be really good if KR also focusses on improving amenities of some key railway stations like Ratnagiri, Madgaon. Madgaon is one of the most important stations and yet its cleanliness,amenities etc leaves a lot to be desired.
