The document discusses Mission Raftaar, which aims to double average freight train speeds and increase passenger train speeds by 25 kmph by 2022. It notes current average speeds are low and lists infrastructure requirements for speeds up to 160 kmph, such as automatic train protection, minimum track structure standards, and grade separation. It also discusses maintenance essentials like track monitoring and rolling stock health monitoring. The document proposes modifications to the speed certification process to make it faster. It identifies over 1470 km of bad formation patches requiring strengthening through methods like inserting blanket layers.
