Indian RailwaysUpdate 10th IHHA Conference 2013 New Delhi
IR – Network and Resources • 64,600 Route Km • 56,000 km (87%) Broad Gauge (1676mm) • 19,368km (35 % of BG) Double/Multiple Lines • 31% of total Route Km Electrified (20,275 Km) • Over 10000 passenger trains and 4000 freight trains per day • 9500 Locomotives(Electric – 4300, Diesel- 5200) • 2,50,000 wagons • 2 Locomotive Manufacturing Units, 2 Wheel and Axle Plants and 1 Locomotive Rebuilding Plant • 1.33 Million Employees
IR – Features Operations • Intense Freight-Passenger traffic on common infrastructure • Freight Traffic - predominantly block rake movement • Train Km Basis: 64% Passenger , 36% Freight • High Density Corridor (Golden Quadrilateral + Diagonals) 16% of route Km carries 52% of passenger & 58 % of freight • Electrified Routes (31%) carry 64% GTKM
IR – Role IR carries one third of the total freight traffic (tonne kilometers) of the country It carries… • 70% of all Coal • 81% of all Fertilizer • 56% of all Iron Ore • 46% of all Cement • 22% of all Petroleum • 20 % of all Container • 18% of all Foodgrain
Transportation Statistics 2011-12 & Projections 2016-17 • Freight Operations • 969 million Tons freight loading • 667.6 billion NTKM • Projections for 2016-17 • 1405 MT • 927 billion NTKM • 4000+ Freight Trains per day • Passenger Operations • 8224 million Originating Passengers • 1047 billion PKM • Projections for 2016-17 • 11,711 million passengers • 1760 billion PKM • 10,000+ passenger trains per day
The Next 5 years … Network Augmentation • Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors (3300 km) • New Lines – 4000 km • Doubling – 7653 km • Gauge Conversion – 5500 km • Electrification – 6500 km • Upgrade speeds on existing lines • Develop High speed Passenger Corridors
The Next 5 years … Rolling Stock Addition • Wagons -1,05,000 • Coaches - 24,000 • Electric locomotives - 2000 • Diesel locomotives – 2000 • High horsepower locomotives • New locomotive factories for Diesel and Electric • Development of High capacity wagons Investment proposed - US$ 100 billion
Towards Heavier and Longer Freight Trains • Axle load increased progressively from 20.82T to 22.82T • 8 tonne per wagon and • 500T per train (15% increase in payload) • 6 iron ore routes upgraded to 25T axle load. • 59 wagons train of 6000T. • 7000 km identified for upgradation to 25T by 2016-17. • 30 long haul (1+1) trains per day being run (upto 10800T) • Double Stack Container trains are being run from ports of Pipavav, Mundra (2x9½) to Gurgaon (Delhi). • Periodicity of train examination increased to 35 days (Closed Circuit Rakes) and 15 days (premium) for optimum utilisation of rolling stock.
Planned Developmentsin Rolling Stock for Heavy Haul • Track friendly bogies for 25/32.5T axle load wagons • Wagons - 25T & 32.5T axle load with improved pay load to tare ratio • High horsepower locomotives – 6000 HP (Diesel), 9000HP, 12000HP (Electric) • Distributed Power Control System for locomotives
