Energisation of the last 20 km between Ghaziabad and Delhi completes electrification at 25 kV a.c. of the main line connecting India's principal port with the capital. Through-running of electrically-hauled trains will improve stock utilisation and cut journey times, while capacity of the congested Tundla-Delhi section will be raised by 34 per cent. A number of design modifications have been made to the overhead equipment for planned 160 km/h running of passenger trains.
