Electrical traction is
as environmental friendly, pollution-free and energy efficient mode of
transport and offer an excellent alternative to fossil fuels as a source
of energy. Electrification was introduced on IR in 1925 with 1500 Volts
DC and subsequently, extended by installing 3000 Volts DC system. 388
route Kms. had been electrified by the year 1936. In 1957, IR decided to
adopt 25 KV AC traction system and, thus, selected main lines and
high-density routes were taken up for Energisation in a planned manner.
Today, out of the seven major trunk routes connecting Mumbai, Kolkata,
New Delhi and Chennai, six are fully electrified and work is in progress
on the remaining Mumbai-Chennai route.
Also, 2X25 KV Auto
transformer system of traction was introduced in 1995 on Bina katni
Anuppur-Bishrampur/Chirimiri section of West Central and South East
Central Railway.
Presently 31.33% of
the total route Kms. of IR is electrified. Over the Years, the progress
of electrification on IR has been as under:
