The multi-tracking projects facilitated and eased operations and reduced congestion, provided the infrastructural development on the busiest sections across Indian Railways, minimized logistics costs, reduced oil imports, and lowered CO2 emissions. 

The projects align with the vision of a New India, as outlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which aims to make the people of the region “Atmanirbhar” through comprehensive development that will improve their employment and self-employment opportunities.
