South Eastern Railway
Indian Railways is the lifeline of the Nation and a catalyst for India's progress and
economic development. South Eastern Railway (SER) plays a significant role in the socio-
economic development of the state of Jharkhand. 36% of SER's jurisdiction covers
Jharkhand. With a view to improve railway infrastructure and extend the railway
network in Jharkhand, the Ranchi Railway Division was formed in the year 2003. The
Government of Jharkhand always extends necessary support and co-operation to this
railway towards development of Jharkhand and improvement of train services.
Railways have achieved many visible milestones in Jharkhand in the last 3-4 years in
different fields viz. construction of new lines, doubling, introduction of new trains,
extension of service, increase in frequency of trains etc. On the freight side, loading of
South Eastern Railway has reached the milestone of 150.76 Million Tonnes, where the
lead role has been taken by the state.
The changing face of transport sector in Jharkhand and the expectations of its people
are being fulfilled with topmost priority. The past achievements of railways and ongoing
projects in the state of Jharkhand are being highlighted in this booklet.
It may be noted that the budgets allocated to various projects are not apportioned
state wise but reflect the cost of the project.

DEDICATED FREIGHT CORRIDOR
q The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor, being constructed under the aegis ofDedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL), with a total routelength of 1856 Kms. has 196 Kms. running through the state of Jharkhand. Thiscorridor will cater to a number of vital traffic streams originating from Jharkhandor passing through Jharkhand
u Coal for the power plants from Eastern Coal fields in Jharia region of Jharkhand
u Finished steel from Bokaro Steel Plant
u Cement from factories of ACC in Patratu, Dalmia and Lafarge groups
u Fertilizers from FCIL, Sindri
u It would also quantitatively speed up transport of lime stone from Rajasthanto steel plants in the east and general goods
q Eastern Corridor will also benefit the people of Jharkhand, who use railwaysfor travelling
u By absorbing about 70 per cent of the existing freight traffic
u Average speed of passenger trains on the Grand Chord Kumardhubi-Dhanbad-Koderma section of Jharkhand on the Delhi - Howrah corridor will therebyincrease by 25 kmph. and help operate passenger trains at maximum speedupto 160 kmph. with the existing infrastructure
