Indian Railways Clears ₹226-Crore Signalling Upgrade for 13 Stations in SECR Raipur Division.
The Ministry of Railways has approved a ₹226 crore project to implement Electronic Interlocking (EI) at 13 stations on the Durg–Taroki section of the South East Central Railway’s (SECR) Raipur Division.
The project will replace the existing Panel Interlocking system with Electronic Interlocking across stations including Dalli Rajhara, Bhanupratappur, Antagarh and Taroki, according to an official statement.
Electronic Interlocking is a computer-based signalling system that automates route setting and signalling operations, thereby improving operational flexibility, system reliability and safety. The upgraded infrastructure is also expected to reduce signalling failures and enable quicker restoration of services during disruptions, the ministry said.
According to the ministry, the initiative will enhance train punctuality and strengthen the rail network’s capacity to handle increasing passenger and freight traffic in the region.
The project is part of Indian Railways’ broader programme to modernise signalling systems across the national network using advanced technologies.
