'Modi thinks way in advance': PM says Hormuz crisis didn't affect railways

Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated Indian Railways' rapid electrification aids national energy security. Electrification over twelve years prevented a standstill during Middle East crises. Less than thirty percent of the rail network was electrified before 2014. Nearly ninety-nine percent of India's rail network is now electrified. This transformation ensures uninterrupted train operations despite global energy challenges.
