Network and Resources- Constraints IR’s main trunk routes viz., the GQ and the diagonals which form 16% of the network but carry 58% of the freight traffic and 52% of the passenger traffic are badly saturated. Since 1950-51, freight output and passenger output have gone up by 15 times and 7 times while route kms have gone up by only 1.5 times. Common infrastructure for passenger and freight traffic hampering resource optimisation. Inadequate capacity for production of required number of electric locomotives, diesel locomotives and passenger coaches. Paucity of funds for augmenting infrastructure. As per line capacity statement, out of 1216 sections on IR, 60% sections have 80% to 100% utilisation of the charted capacity and 39% of the sections are saturated with more than 100% utilisation of the charted capacity. Similarly, 69% sections on HDN route are having more than 100% utilisation of the charted capacity.
