Out of the total 770 km, 326 km falls under Telangana, 331 km under Andhra Pradesh, 87 km under Maharashtra and 27 km pertain to Karnataka jurisdiction of SCR. The electrification of rail lines helps in providing seamless movement of trains by avoiding change in traction power, reduces en route detention of both the coaching and freight trains and improves the average speed of the trains.
Arun Kumar Jain, General Manager (In-Charge), SCR, congratulated the entire staff and officers of the Zone for the excellent teamwork and dedication put up in executing the electrification works. The majority of the SCR network is now electrified and this helps in achieving 100 per cent electrification of the Zone in the ensuing years.
