Indian Railways is advancing major infrastructure projects to enhance connectivity and economic activity. Key initiatives include the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), a 272 km line through the Himalayas featuring the world's highest railway arch bridge, providing all-weather access to the Kashmir Valley. Additionally, the New Pamban Railway Bridge in Tamil Nadu, India's first vertical-lift sea bridge, aims to improve logistics and reliability across industries and ports.
