"Indian Railways has achieved a significant milestone, by completing 100 per cent electrification of the Railway network in Haryana State. The existing Broad Gauge network of Haryana is 1,701 Route kilometres, which is now 100% electrified, resulting in saving on account of reduced line haul cost (about 2.5 times lower), heavier haulage capacity, increased sectional capacity, reduced operating & maintenance cost of the electric loco, energy-efficient and eco-friendly mode of transportation with reduced dependence on imported crude oil, saving of foreign exchange. Further, the new Broad Gauge network shall be sanctioned along with electrification, in sync with the Railways' policy of a 100% electrified network," the press release said.
