Indian Railways Approves ₹226 Crore Electronic Interlocking Project for 13 Stations of Raipur Division in SECR

Ministry of Railways Indian Railways Approves ₹226 Crore Electronic Interlocking Project for 13 Stations of Raipur Division in SECR Electronic Interlocking to Strengthen Safety, Reliability and Signalling Efficiency at 13 Stations on the Durg-Taroki

Section of Raipur Division प्रव तथ: 01 JUL 2026 4:29PM by PIB Delhi In a major step towards modernising signalling infrastructure and enhancing operational safety, Indian Railways has approved the provision of Electronic Interlocking (EI) at 13 stations on the Durg-Taroki

section of Raipur Division in South East Central Railway (SECR) at a cost of ₹226 crore.

The project involves replacing the existing Panel Interlocking (PI) system with Electronic Interlocking

(EI) at 13 stations, enabling safer, more reliable and technology-driven train operations.

Modernisation of Signalling Infrastructure The sanctioned project covers the installation of Electronic Interlocking at the following stations of the Durg-Taroki section of Raipur Division:

Marauda (MXA) Risama (RSA) Gundardehi (GDZ) Latabor (LBO) Balod (BXA) Kusumkasa (KYS) Dalli Rajhara (DRZ) Gudum (GUDM) Bhanupratappur (BPTP) Keoti (KETI) Antagarh (AAGH) Taroki (TDOK) Raipur Store Depot (RSD) The transition from Panel Interlocking to Electronic Interlocking will significantly modernise signalling infrastructure on this important section, improving operational flexibility and system reliability.

Safer, Faster and More Reliable Train Operations Electronic Interlocking is a state-of-the-art signalling technology that automates route setting and signalling functions while incorporating advanced safety features. The upgraded system will improve operational efficiency, reduce the possibility of signalling failures and enable faster restoration duringdisruptions.

The project will enhance the safety and reliability of train operations, improve punctuality and provide a stronger technological foundation for handling growing passenger and freight traffic on the South East Central Railway network.

The approval is part of Indian Railways' ongoing programme to modernise signalling systems across the national network through advanced technologies, ensuring safer, smarter and more efficient railway operations.
