The government is working rapidly on the mission of running trains at a speed of 160 km per hour between Mumbai and Delhi. 90 percent work on this government project has been completed. Soon you will see the train moving at a speed of 160 kmph. Let go. Armor technology will be used to increase the speed and safety of trains. Let us know the news in detail below….
Five years ago, the ‘Mission Raftaar’ project was started to run trains at a speed of 160 km per hour between Mumbai and Delhi. More than 90 percent of the work of this project of 1,478 route km and Rs 8 thousand crore has been completed. To run trains at speed on this entire route, fencing is necessary at both ends of the tracks.
About 50 percent of the scheme i.e. 792 route km is under the jurisdiction of Western Railway and the work of cattle fencing and wall fencing in this entire part has almost been completed. According to Railways, speed trials can be conducted here by May 2024. The country’s first sleeper Vande Bharat is also likely to run between Mumbai and Delhi.
Will be protected by armor
To increase the speed and safety of trains, Indian Railways’ ‘Kavach’ technology will be used on the entire route. It is impossible for trains fitted with armor to collide head-on, because the train will apply automatic brakes before the collision. In December 2022, 3 contracts were awarded to install armor in 90 engines on 735 km on Western Railway.
Out of this, successful trials have been conducted on 142 km. The armor installation work is expected to be completed by December 2024. So far, trials have been conducted on 62 km in Vadodara-Ahmedabad section, 40 km on Virar-Surat and 37 km on Vadodara-Ratlam-Nagda section.
Speed will increase in this way
The average speed of trains on the Delhi-Mumbai route at present is 80 to 100 km per hour. To increase the speed of trains, work is going on to strengthen the track and build walls on both sides. An officer of the engineering department associated with the mission said that apart from strengthening the wall and the track, the straighter the track will be, the more the speed will be maintained.
107 curves in the Western Railway area of this project have been straightened. The remaining 27 curves will also be straightened soon. For a speed of 160 km per hour, 60 kg 90 UTS rails are required, whereas at most places in Indian Railways, 52 kg 90 UTS rails are installed.
According to the project, the work of changing the tracks on the Mumbai-Delhi route is going on at a fast pace. To increase the speed, the cushion of stone ballast under the tracks is being increased from 250 mm to 300 mm.
