The Indian Railways has announced plans to construct two additional tracks on the busy Vadodara‑Ratlam corridor, aiming to boost capacity and reduce congestion.
The Ministry of Railways recently announced the addition of two new tracks on the Vadodara‑Ratlam section, a key artery in Gujarat’s rail network. The existing double-track line handles a high volume of both passenger and freight traffic, often leading to congestion and delays. By expanding to four tracks, the corridor will accommodate more trains and improve punctuality. The project is expected to enhance regional connectivity, support economic growth, and reduce travel time for commuters. Land acquisition and detailed engineering studies are underway, with construction slated to begin in the next fiscal year.
