Gujarat has achieved full railway route electrification, becoming the 24th State or Union Territory in India to do so. This development was highlighted during the launch of the Dahod Electric Locomotive Factory, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscored the importance of this achievement in supporting India’s green mobility goals. The move is a significant step in reducing reliance on fossil fuels, cutting operational costs, and aligning with India’s broader commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. Gujarat’s complete electrification also contributes to Indian Railways’ target of becoming a net-zero carbon emitter by 2030, reinforcing the country’s global sustainability commitments.
