Manish Umbrajkar | TNN | Feb 6, 2019, 21:20 ISTPUNE: A total 406 locomotives (97 Diesel and 309 Electric) and 3792 coaches have been manufactured up to November-end 2018.
Some schemes for development of freight terminals through private investment have been launched. The policy aims to provide rail connectivity at party's doorstep, that is factory, premises, raw material producing areas, and also connect manufacturing hubs with markets across the country for transporting manufactured products.
During 2018-19, 12 private sidings and 3 private freight terminals (PFTs) have been commissioned. A private freight terminals policy has been created by the Indian railways. With a view to facilitate rapid development of a network of freight terminals with private investment and to provide efficient and cost effective logistics services with warehousing solutions to end users, Private Freight Terminal (PFT) was introduced. Under the scheme, proposals have been received for PFT development at 107 locations. A total of 59 PFTs have been commissioned and are functioning.
In-principle approval has been given for 42 proposals and the remaining 6 are under process. A 'Safety First' policy, with allocation of adequate funds under Rashtriya Rail Sanraksha Kosh is cornerstone of railways' focus on safety. Maintenance of track infrastructure is being given special attention. Over 3600 kms of track renewal is targeted during the current fiscal.
Other major steps include increasing use of technology like "Fog Safe" and "Train Protection and Warning System."
