New Delhi: Indian Railways unveiled a pioneering 2×25 kV electric traction system under its high-speed Mission Raftaar initiative on the double-line Khachrod–Nagda section in Madhya Pradesh, marking a historic stride in sustainable rail operations.

Traction System Upgrade

This first-of-its-kind system replaces the conventional single 25 kV overhead equipment (OHE) with a more efficient double-voltage setup. It features two Scott-connected 100 MVA power transformers that optimally feed electrical load into the OHE, enhancing energy utilisation and power distribution.

Mission Raftaar Pushes Efficiency and Speed

Commissioned under the ambitious Mission Raftaar, this advanced traction system is designed to:

  • Improve energy efficiency and reduce transmission losses.
  • Elevate traction power availability across trains.
  • Increase average train speeds, accelerating India’s rail modernization.

Sustainable Rail Vision

The 2×25 kV setup aligns with Indian Railways’ broader sustainability and modernization goals. By cutting transmission losses and boosting train speeds, it paves the way for greener, more efficient rail corridors.

Through initiatives like Mission Raftaar, it aims to intensively modernize rail infrastructure, enhance operational speed, and raise energy efficiency, driving India’s rail sector into a high-performance, sustainable future.
