Cost of Fuel & Electric Energy (Rs. Per 1000 GTKM)
Conclusions
Electric Vs Diesel debate is not an issue of Departmental dominance but Economic survival.
Electrification of High Density Traffic Route (49.72 GMT and above) is not being questioned.
There is no pressing need for electrifying remaining sections when Railways are facing Financial Disaster.
A complete moratorium on Electrification should be place, as an immediate measure.
CORE should be wound up.
Work of ongoing projects should be executed only by the concerned Railway as is the case with projects of BG conversion, doubling of lines and other Engg. / S&T / Elect. Works, which also overlap on Multiple Railways.
