After Amrit Bharat stations and trains, the Ministry of Railways is now working on the Amrit Yard concept to decongest saturated yards on the railway network, which have been impacting the speeds and movement of trains, despite track expansion works undertaken in the past years.
The ministry has set up a committee consisting of senior railway board officials and a Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) senior executive to realise the Amrit Yard concept.
According to officials, the concept borrows from the model of Smart Yards, which the railways have been aiming to implement for a while to reduce train evacuation time from yards.
