India Nears 100% Rail Electrification:
Indian Railways is close to completing the electrification of almost its entire broad-gauge network, with more than 99% already electrified, underlining India’s rapid push toward sustainable, low-emission transport systems.Near-total electrification has led to reduced diesel consumption, lower emissions, supporting Indian Railways’ goal of becoming a net-zero carbon emitter.Indian Railways aims to achieve net-zero by 2030, one of the earliest targets globally for a national railway system.Indian Railways is one of the largest electricity consumers in India, and a shift to electrification allows integration with renewable energy sources.
