Significantly increase passenger capacity to reduce waiting lists by 2030

Railways are working to expand passenger-carrying capacity through new trains and coaches (1,674 locomotives and 6,677 LHB coaches manufactured in FY2025-26), additional Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat services, capacity augmentation works, and a modernised Passenger Reservation System (commissioned December 2025) capable of far higher booking volumes, alongside Aadhaar-based measures and removal of 3.04 crore suspicious accounts to curb ticketing abuse. The pledge’s explicit target is 2030, so progress is on track but the outcome (significantly reduced waiting lists) is not yet achieved. Partial.
