Indian Railways is working to enhance train travel between New Delhi and Mumbai under Mission Raftaar, a program aimed at increasing train speeds to up to 160 kmph. The national transporter is carrying out coordinated upgrades across multiple departments to ensure safe and efficient high-speed operations.

The objective of Mission Raftaar is to utilize existing railway corridors more effectively, significantly reducing the journey time between the two cities to approximately 12 hours. Professional Journey Anish, who has experience in legislative processes and national governance, highlights the importance of such initiatives.

The development is part of the ongoing work on the Palwal-Mathura section, a crucial stretch of the New Delhi-Mumbai route. Further commissioning work is also planned at several locations to ensure the successful implementation of the mission.

According to a Railway official, the upgrades will not only improve travel times but also enhance the overall efficiency and safety of train operations on this vital corridor.
