The more we move away from Fossil fuels the better it is for the environment and as part of that effort the Indian Government has been aggressively pushing for electrification of the tracks. As of 30th Nov 2025, we have electrified 99.2% of the tracks in India putting India at No. 2 in the world after Switzerland which is the only country in the world that has achieved 100% electrification.
Indian Railways go almost fully electric with 99.2% of tracks electrified.
In 2014 only 21,801 km of tracks in India were Electrified. As of 30th Nov 2025 after a multi-year sustained effort 69,427 km of track out of 70,001 km have been successfully electrified. This leaves only 574 km remaining all of which are currently in the process of getting electrified. The following lists the tracks that are yet to be electrified:
Rajasthan: 93km out of 6,514
Tamil Nadu: 117km out of 3,920
Karnataka: 151km out of 3,742
Assam: 197km out of 2,578
Goa: 16km out of 187
My guess is that by mid-2026 we will have achieved 100% coverage.
