<h1>Rail infrastructure expansion enhances capacity and connectivity under the PM-Gati Shakti framework, improving freight and passenger movement.</h1> Approval of four railway multi-tracking projects increases route capacity and connectivity across multiple states, streamlines movement of passengers and freight-including bulk commodities and containers-and aims to reduce congestion and transport costs. Implemented under the PM-Gati Shakti National Master Plan, the projects emphasize integrated planning, multimodal linkages and stakeholder consultation, seek environmental gains through rail modal shift, and foresee employment generation during construction and extension of the rail network to additional districts and villages.
