Indian Railways has approved a budget for the final location surveys of elevated rail links connecting the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) with Mumbai's suburban network. These strategic rail links are designed to enhance accessibility and integration with the existing railway system, benefiting both air travelers and the wider Mumbai metropolitan region. Simultaneously, Indian Railways has allocated funds for the 'Hydrogen for Heritage' initiative, which focuses on introducing hydrogen-powered trains on the iconic Matheran Hill Railway to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability. The railway network development also includes surveys for new lines between Panvel and Roha, as well as a direct rail connection between Dahanu and Nashik, aiming to improve inter-city connectivity and facilitate the movement of goods and people. These initiatives showcase Indian Railways' commitment to economic growth, environmental sustainability, and technological innovation. By embracing green technologies and sustainable practices, Indian Railways aims to create a more efficient and eco-friendly rail network that aligns with principles of urban planning and heritage preservation.
