Indian Railways is implementing a nationwide plan to double originating train capacity at 48 major cities by 2030, aiming to meet rising passenger demand by expanding terminals and enhancing sectional capacity. This initiative seeks to decongest hubs, improve efficiency, and strengthen connectivity. In Guwahati, a key railway hub, the Northeast Frontier Railway is undertaking projects like the Kamakhya-New Guwahati 3rd Line Project to boost train handling capabilities and accommodate increasing passenger numbers.
