In the Union Budget 2025, Indian Railways is set to receive a significant funding boost, aimed at modernizing the country’s railway network, introducing new trains, and enhancing safety measures. The funding increase, expected to be 15-20%, could raise the capital expenditure allocation to over ₹3 lakh crore.
This move aligns with the government’s ongoing focus on improving railway infrastructure, expanding capacity, and reducing congestion. New Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat Express trains are expected to be introduced, and significant funds will be directed toward upgrading stations and laying new tracks. Additionally, the implementation of the Kavach safety system, an advanced anti-collision technology, will be a priority, with substantial allocations for its expansion.
This increase in funding is likely to benefit key stocks in the railway sector, such as IRCTC, IRFC, RVNL, and IRCON International, as investors anticipate improvements in infrastructure and profitability.
