In a major step towards modernising signalling infrastructure and enhancing railway safety, Indian Railways has approved the installation of Electronic Interlocking at 13 stations on the Durg-Taroki section of the Raipur Division under South East Central Railway.

The Ministry of Railways said that the project has been sanctioned at 226 crore rupees. It will replace the existing Panel Interlocking system with Electronic Interlocking at Marauda, Risama, Gundardehi, Latabor, Balod, Kusumkasa, Dalli Rajhara, Gudum, Bhanupratappur, Keoti, Antagarh, Taroki and the Raipur Store Depot.

 

The upgrade is expected to improve operational flexibility, strengthen system reliability and support safer, more efficient train operations.
