NFR's Alipurduar Division Sets Record in Track Renewal with PQR S System

  • Northeast Frontier Railway's Alipurduar Division achieved a record for single-day mechanized track renewal, covering 1,033 track meters.
  • The record was set using PQR S (Plasser's Quick Relaying System), highlighting effective use of high-output technology and coordinated efforts.
  • NFR has completed 290.8 km of track renewal across its divisions, including Katihar, Alipurduar, Rangiya, Lumding, and Tinsukia.
  • PQR S is a compact, self-propelled system enabling faster rail panel replacement and direct removal of old panels, reducing maintenance costs.
  • This modernization aligns with Indian Railways' broader goal of using advanced tech like KAVACH for high speed, safety, and economic development.

Why It Matters: NFR sets new track renewal record using advanced PQR S system, boosting modernization and efficiency.
