Railway electrification refers to the process of converting railway routes from diesel-based operations to electric traction by installing overhead electric lines. This transition enhances energy efficiency, reduces dependence on fossil fuels, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and improves overall operational speed and cost-effectiveness. Electrification is a key strategy in modernizing railway infrastructure and promoting sustainable transportation.
