Railway Modernization: With the success of the magnificent Vande Bharat Express, on December 30, 2023, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi also gave the gift of Amrit Bharat Express to the country. PM Modi flagged off two trains simultaneously. These new cheap and convenient trains are also being liked a lot. Recently, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had said that the government will run 300 to 400 Amrit Bharat trains every year. Due to this plan of the government, there is full expectation that there will be a rise in the stocks of various railway companies this year.
Keep an eye on these railway stocks
In recent times, various railway companies have performed well on the stock market. Now, with the government promoting indigenously manufactured trains like Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat, these stocks may perform better.

Changing Railway Tracks and Stations
According to Ashwini Vaishnav, the railway network has increased by 26 thousand kilometers in the last 9.5 years. Apart from this, the government has doubled the railway tracks by spending Rs 30,749 crore. Besides, 400 stations are also being completely transformed under the Amrit Bharat Station Programme. Modern facilities and parking facilities will be increased in these. According to Vaishnav, Amrit Bharat Express is a sleeper class train. The fare in this is marginally less but the facilities are the same as in Vande Bharat. It has many facilities like modern technology, fast speed and comfortable travel. It not only saves time but also reduces external noise and wind.
What changed in 9 years of Modi government
There have been many changes in Railways in the 9 years of Modi government. Apart from these modern trains, laying of new tracks, renovation of stations and electrification of routes has also accelerated. Railways has achieved the target of 100 percent electrification in 14 states and union territories by March 31, 2023. This will not only reduce India’s import bill and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
