• Electrification enhances fuel security, protecting citizens from global oil price volatility and geopolitical tensions.
• Railways now rely on domestically produced electricity from coal, hydro, solar, and other renewable resources.
• Ensures uninterrupted passenger and freight transport, strengthening India's energy independence during crises.
