Govt To Implement Three Major Economic Railway Corridor Programmes: FM Sitharaman

The government will implement three major economic railway corridor programmes and convert 40,000 normal railway bogies to Vande Bharat standards, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said while presenting the interim budget for 2024-25. She said that creating the corridors will decongest high-traffic corridors and also improve passenger train operations.
While railway corridors will improve the efficiency of logistic services and reduce cost, conversion of coaches will increase the safety, convenience and comfort of passengers, she said.
