MALIGAON, Jan 1: Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has achieved a significant milestone in its electrification programme with the successful completion of major electrification works in the Tinsukia Division (TSK). On 30th December 2025, the Principal Chief Electrical Engineer (PCEE) Shri Yogesh Partaity inspected the successfully completed electrical works over the Tinsukia-Dangari and Makum-Ledo sections on the TSK division. With this achievement, NFR has completed electrification of 4170.19 Route Kilometres (RKM) out of a total 4324.15 RKM, achieving 96.43% electrification across the zone as on 31st December 2025.
The inspection covered a total of 90.314 Route Kilometres (RKM) and 106.10 Track Kilometres (TKM). During the inspection, the Overhead Equipment (OHE) was successfully energised by extending traction power supply from Dibrugarh Traction Sub-Station (DBRG TSS). Subsequently, the electric locomotive current collection test was conducted successfully at full sectional speed, confirming the readiness of the newly electrified sections for commercial operations.
With the successful energisation and testing of these sections, Tinsukia Division has now achieved a major milestone in electrification of its railway tracks. This achievement marks a major step towards enhancing operational efficiency, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, lowering carbon emissions and enabling seamless electric traction across the division.
NFR remains committed towards India's visionary of a fully electrified railway network ensuring faster, greener and more energy-efficient rail transportation system for the nation. The completion of full electrification in Tinsukia Division is expected to significantly improve train operations, reduce operating costs and contributing to sustainable development in the region. |
