The main objective of this upgrade is to save energy and reduce operating costs. Indian Railways has approved this proposal. After the construction of the third rail, work will begin on installing communication-based train control signals, which is expected to be completed within the next 2 years. The entire project is planned to be completed in 2-3 years.
