India's East Coast Railway upgrades to a 2x25 KV system to support faster trains and cut emissions.

The East Coast Railway in India is upgrading its electrification system to a 2x25 KV overhead system on several key routes, improving voltage regulation and supporting semi-high-speed and heavy freight train operations. This upgrade will enhance power stability and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, aligning with India's goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in transportation by 2030. The project, set for completion by March 2027, includes routes like Bhadrak-Khurda Road and Cuttack-Paradeep.
