Extract Of Union Budget 2018-19 (Speech) Presented by Minister of Finance Shri Arun Jaitley on 1 February, 2018 in the Parliament (Lok Sabha)

摘要

Strengthening the railway network and enhancing Railways' carrying capacity has been a major focus of the Government. Railways' Capex for the year 2018-19 has been pegged at 1,48,528 crore. A large part of the Capex is devoted to capacity creation. 18,000 kilometers of doubling, third and fourth line works and 5000 kilometers of gauge conversion would eliminate capacity constraints and transform almost entire network into Broad Gauge.
