Railway Pink Book 2025-22 | Indian Railway Pink Book 2025-22<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

Here\u2019s a comprehensive and updated guide to the “Pink Book” in Indian Railways\u2014particularly regarding railway electrification<\/strong>\u2014including its status and how to access related resources:<\/p>\n

\n

What Was the Railway \u201cPink Book\u201d?<\/h2>\n

The Pink Book<\/strong> was an annual publication by the Railway Board, serving as a consolidated program of works\u2014covering capital projects over \u20b92.5 crore. It detailed allocations and physical targets across categories such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • New lines<\/li>\n
  • Doubling & gauge conversion<\/li>\n
  • Signaling & electrification<\/li>\n
  • Safety improvements<\/li>\n
  • Rolling stock, station upgrades, and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This document was widely used by planners, analysts, and aspirants for strategic insight and project tracking.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Status Update: Pink Book Discontinued in 2025<\/h2>\n

    As of April 2025, Indian Railways ceased publication of the centralized Pink Book<\/strong>. Instead, the railway ministry is now producing zone-wise and production unit-wise budget documents<\/strong>, which include the full breakdown of works\u2014including electrification\u2014tailored to each zone\u2019s planning needs.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Where to Find Electrification Data Now<\/h2>\n

    Although the Pink Book is discontinued, electrification project details are now included in:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Zone-wise Works Programme Documents<\/strong>
      \nThese replace the former Pink Book and list electrification projects in categories like new lines, doubling, safety, etc.<\/li>\n
    • Production Unit Budget Statements<\/strong>
      \nFor units like Diesel Loco Works, Modernization Works, etc., the electrification components (if applicable) are now embedded here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      You can download these from official portals or individual railway zone websites (e.g. Southern Railway, Western Railway) once released.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Electrification Progress\u2014Fast-Track to 100%<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • As of mid-2025, over 68,000 route-km<\/strong> of Indian broad-gauge tracks are electrified\u2014about 98%<\/strong> of the total network.<\/li>\n
      • Yearly electrification data shows rapid gains:\n
          \n
        • 2025\u201324: 7,188 rkm added<\/li>\n
        • 2025\u201325: 2,701 rkm added\u2014total cumulative electrified network now around 68,701 rkm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Electrification continues to expand even into sensitive terrains:\n
            \n
          • Northeast corridor (Dibrugarh-Duliajan): 62 rkm completed, with electric traction now fully operational.<\/li>\n
          • Agartala\u2013Arunachal section: Trial runs of electric passenger trains have begun, following a \u20b946 crore electrification initiative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
