Railways Approves Rs 285 Crore Traction Upgrade on Mahbubnagar–Secunderabad–Medchal Route
The project involves converting the existing 1x25 kV electric traction system to a modern 2x25 kV system over an approximately 141-route-km stretch. The upgrade forms part of Indian Railways' broader strategy to enhance capacity and operational efficiency on high-density rail corridors.
The 2x25 kV traction system will provide a more stable and efficient power supply, enabling smoother train operations, higher traffic handling capacity and improved reliability for both passenger and freight services.
The Mahbubnagar-Secunderabad-Medchal section is part of one of the country's important High-Density Network (HDN) routes. It falls on the Dharmavaram-Dhone-Mahbubnagar-Secunderabad-Medchal-Mudkhed-Indore-Ajmer rail corridor, which carries substantial passenger and freight traffic.
Upon completion, the project will further improve train operations on the route. Freight movement will become more efficient, enhancing both the speed and capacity of goods transportation. The project is also expected to support trade, industry and economic activity across the region.
