In a major boost for Uttar Pradesh, the Centre has provided the state with the highest allocation of funds to the Railways in the Union Budget 2023-24. Uttar Pradesh has got a record allocation of Rs 17,507 crore from a total of Rs 2.4 lakh crore given to the Indian Railways. According to earlier reports, around 46 stations are to be redeveloped in NCR under the Amri Bharat Scheme. The lion’s share of funds given to UP will definitely help NCR among others in redeveloping its railway infrastructure including doubling of lines, gauge conversion, construction of bridges, facelifting of stations, rail track renewal etc.
