Indian Railways has activated automatic block signalling on the Bina‑Bhopal stretch, completing the 64‑km section from Bina to Gulabganj to enhance safety and increase train frequency.
Indian Railways has rolled out automatic block signalling on the Bina‑Bhopal rail corridor, a move aimed at boosting safety and operational efficiency.
The 64‑kilometre stretch from Bina to Gulabganj has been fully commissioned, allowing trains to run closer together and reducing headways.
Railway officials say the new system will cut signalling delays, lower the risk of collisions, and enable a higher frequency of passenger and freight services on the line.
The project is part of a broader initiative to modernise signalling across the country, with similar upgrades slated for other busy routes.
