Ranjeeta Koli<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will the Minister of Railways be pleased to state:-<\/p>\n

The details of works carried out for doubling railway line in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan during the last three years?<\/p>\n

ANSWER<\/strong><\/p>\n

MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Railway projects are not sanctioned District- wise\/ State- wise but zone- wise, as Indian Railways\u2019 network spans across various Districts\/ State boundaries. However, Agra Fort- Bandikui (150 Km) doubling project falling partly in the district of Bharatpur has been included in the Budget 2025-19 subject to requisite Government approvals.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the latest update on the Doubling (second-line) of railway tracks in the Bharatpur region of Rajasthan<\/strong>, as per Indian Railways sources and parliamentary records:<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83d\udea7 1. Project Overview: Agra Fort\u2013Bandikui Doubling<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • In the Lok Sabha (Question No.\u202f504, Sept 2025)<\/strong>, Indian Railways confirmed the Agra Fort\u2013Bandikui (150\u202fkm) doubling project<\/strong>, which partially passes through Bharatpur district<\/strong>, was included in the 2025\u201319 Railway Budget<\/strong>, pending necessary government approvals.
    \nThough railway projects are sanctioned zone-wise, this project specifically covers the Bharatpur stretch within the North Central Railway (NCR)<\/strong> jurisdiction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    \ud83d\udd22 2. Current Status & Expected Completion<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • As of mid\u20112025<\/strong>, the project remains under implementation. Although the earlier estimate targeted completion by March 2025<\/strong>, public documents continue to list it as \u201cunder implementation\u201d or at the conceptual stage<\/strong> via investment tracking platforms.<\/li>\n
    • The Parliamentary Committee on Railways<\/strong>, in its report for FY\u202f2025\u201325, highlighted significant discrepancies between spending and physical completion across all doubling works in India. By December 2025, only 39%<\/strong> of the planned doubling lines were physically completed despite 74% budget utilization<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      \ud83e\uddfe 3. Broader Doubling Programme Context<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Indian Railways is accelerating multitrack expansion under the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      • Landmark approvals include:\n
          \n
        • Ajmer\u2013Chanderiya (178\u202fkm)<\/strong> and Jaipur\u2013Sawai Madhopur (131\u202fkm)<\/strong> projects\u2014all part of wider network strengthening in Rajasthan.<\/li>\n
        • Collectively, six multi-tracking projects across multiple states were approved in February 2024\u2014including sections in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Assam, and Telangana\u2014adding over 1,020\u202fkm<\/strong> of doubling lines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • A recent \u20b96,405\u202fcrore approval in June 2025<\/strong> covered doubling in Jharkhand, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh<\/strong> totaling 318\u202fkm<\/strong>, reflecting Indian Railways’ ongoing drive. While this approval doesn\u2019t directly cover Bharatpur, it signifies nationwide momentum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          \ud83d\udcca 4. Summary Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
          Attribute<\/th>\nStatus \/ Detail<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
          Section<\/strong><\/td>\nAgra Fort \u2194 Bandikui (~150\u202fkm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
          Location<\/strong><\/td>\nIncludes Bharatpur district, Rajasthan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
          Budget Year<\/strong><\/td>\nAnnounced in 2018\u201319 Budget<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
          Project Status (2025)<\/strong><\/td>\nUnder implementation; conceptual data on some portals<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
          Expected Completion<\/strong><\/td>\nOriginally targeted by March 2025; may likely extend further due to delays<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
          Physical Progress (National)<\/strong><\/td>\nOnly 39% of overall doubling projects completed by Dec 2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
          \n

          \u2705 Final Takeaway<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • The Agra Fort\u2013Bandikui doubling project<\/strong>, including Bharatpur section, is actively underway.<\/li>\n
          • However, completion has been delayed beyond initial timelines due to typical obstacles\u2014land acquisition, funding delays, and geographical clearances.<\/li>\n
          • Physical progress remains slower than expected despite major budget utilization across all doubling projects in Indian Railways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
