Northern Railway set to add new features on EMU trains between Delhi-Bahadurgarh-Rohtak

The Northern Railway is all set to add new features on trains especially on suburban routes of national capital for the convenience of daily commuters.

These include inauguration of the newly electrified track on the Delhi-Bahadurgarh-Rohtak section and stainless steel coaches with advance audio-visual facilities like destination indicators and announcements about approaching stations as in the Delhi Metro. According to railways officials, electrification of Delhi-Bahadurgarh-Rohtak is complete and will soon see Electrical Multiple Unit, EMUs plying on the route.

The officials said, beginning of EMU services on this route will see improvement of traffic between Delhi-Bahadurgarh-Rohtak. The northern railway is also planning to increase the number of coaches from 12 to 16 and from 16 to 20 in the suburban routes, especially during peak hours.

Bahadurgarh railway station to run on solar energy

Aimed at tapping more non-conventional energy, the Delhi division of Northern Railway is developing Bahadurgarh railway station, on the outskirts of Delhi, as a 'green' station.

While the energy requirement of the station would be met with solar energy, a water harvesting system is also being developed at the station premises for optimum utilisation of the resource.

Railway officials said solar panels would be installed on the station building and other suitable places.

“Solar power panel with a capacity of 20 KW is going to be installed at the station within the next two months. The power that is generated would be enough to for the power requirement of platforms, circulating area, booking office and the service buildings,” a senior Northern Railway official said.

A stand-alone solar light will also be provided at platforms to reduce electricity requirement from the main grid, the official added.

Officials said apart from harnessing alternate sources of energy, emphasis would also be on conservation of energy.

“The existing energy consuming lights will be replaced by energy efficient LED lights in the station building, circulating area and at the platforms.  All such efforts will help in drastically reducing  the power consumption. It will also result in substantial saving of revenue for railway,” the railway official said.

The expense in making the station green will be funded by the Indian Railway Finance Corporation Ltd.

While Bahadurgarh is one of the important and fast growing localities of neighbouring Haryana, its close proximity to the Capital has only spiked the rate of development in the city.

The city is located 19 km from the capital and it will be connected with Delhi Metro in its later phases. Officials said footfall at the station is likely to increase — from the current footfall of around 32,000 people per day — if the pace of development of the area.

“The station is being initiated as a pilot project. More stations in the division are likely to be developed on similar lines,” the official said.

Peeragarhi-Rohtak road to become signal-free

Travelling from west Delhi to Haryana is all set to become a smooth affair with the Public Works Department (PWD) planning to construct an underpass at Peeragarhi Chowk. The PWD has also decided to make the Rohtak Road-Peeragarhi Chowk signal-free to ease out traffic jams.

Currently, the entire stretch is marked by traffic snarls with commercial vehicles using the stretch to make their way to Haryana.

This stretch connects outer Delhi with central Delhi and making it signal-free will help motorists to a large extent.

A feasibility study will also be conducted by the department to find out the traffic situation and whether the underpass will be able to ease traffic jams or not.

"Despite having a flyover on the outer Ring Road — from Viskaspuri to Mangolpuri — the entire stretch is marred by traffic jams. Though there is a proposal to have a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor, we have decided to construct an underpass till that shapes up," said a senior PWD official.

Currently, there is a Mundka Metro line and a flyover on the Rohtak Road-Peeragarhi Chowk.Bottom of Form

Pl ask from Railway Minister in PARLIAMENT

1.    When balance 3 Kms will complete, more than 17 Months are passed, when 57 kilometers of electrification was achieved? 

For three kilometers we are not getting benefit of total money spent on project, no speed & frequency increased no reduction in Diesel or Pollution.

2.    This electrification was only for Goods Train?


3.    When the EMU, MEMU and electric engine trains will be introduced for benefit of Aam Admi?


4.    Officers and Staff rewarded for Incomplete Project Implementation but When Passenger and Aam Admi will be rewarded with better service?
