The Indian Railways is poised to add 200 to 250 new trains annually, in addition to the 400 to 450 Vande Bharat trains slated for inclusion in the coming years. Railway stocks have surged by as much as 32% in the past month, accompanied by a more than tenfold rise in average trading volumes.
In response to the escalating passenger numbers attributed to population growth, the Indian Railways has unveiled a robust plan to introduce an additional 3,000 trains over the next four to five years. This strategic move, articulated by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, aims to augment the current annual passenger capacity from 800 crore to 1,000 crore.
