“We will significantly increase passenger carrying capacity by 2030 to significantly reduce the waiting list.”
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.
We will partner with neighbouring countries to strategically manage the Himalayan rivers. Our focus will be on holistic measures to mitigate the devastating effects of floods and harnessing hydroelectric power to generate affordable electricity.
We will continue to strengthen Bharat’s coastline by developing a resilient infrastructure, and prepare a master plan keeping in mind the special needs of coastal areas and ensuring all facilities.
We will transform our islands into premier global tourism destinations by developing world-class beach resorts, marine adventure activities, and robust coastal infrastructure, while preserving local ecosystems and promoting sustainable tourism.
