Since last one month, freights coming from Palanpur- Samakhiali route towards MDPT are running with e locomotives as electrification of AI - MDAR route is completed.
Work of doubling and electrification is going on near MALB on SIOB - VG route which will be completed within 1 - 2 months and passenger trains from ADI side to Kutch are expected to run with e loco very soon.
Currently 10 goods trains are daily running with E loco till MDAR station. Soon MDAR to MDPT will be electrified and end to end...
more... e loco will be provided to freights on this route till Mundra Port.
ETS work is also going on adjacent to present Gandhidham LS.
However Ala Hazarat Express 14321/22 via Palanpur can be provided e loco e to e but RSA with Ala Hazarat Express 14311/ 12 via Mahesana, CLDY might be reason not to give it e loco end to end as of now
Also I feel that trains 12959/60, 12965/66 Bandra - Bhuj bi weekly Express; Gandhidham- Palanpur - Bhuj Intercity trains can also be given e loco end to end as PNU SIOB is fully electrified. GIMB JU sf will have to wait till SMR BLDI route is electrified.

please wait...Translate to EnglishFor the past month, the freight trains from Palanpur-Samakhiali to MDPT are using electric locomotives because the AI-MDAR route has been electrified. They are currently working on doubling and electrification near MALB on the SIOB-VG route, which should be finished in about 1-2 months. Then, passenger trains from ADI to Kutch will also start using electric locomotives. Right now, 10 goods trains are running daily with electric locomotives to MDAR station. Soon, the electrification will extend from MDAR to MDPT, and the entire route to Mundra Port will have electric locomotives. ETS work is also happening near Gandhidham LS. However, the Ala Hazarat Express 14321/22 via Palanpur could use electric locomotives, but because of the RSA with Ala Hazarat Express 14311/12 via Mahesana, CLDY, it might not be possible. Additionally, I think the trains 12959/60, 12965/66 Bandra-Bhuj bi-weekly Express and Gandhidham-Palanpur-Bhuj Intercity trains can also use electric locomotives end to end since PNU SIOB is fully electrified. The GIMB JU superfast train will have to wait until the SMR BLDI route is electrified. Janmabhoomi - 5th October.
