Shares of railway companies skyrocketed on Wednesday, December 11, amid expectancies of a recovery in capital expenditure by the central government and key announcements in the Union Budget 2025.
On November 25, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved three rail projects with a cost of ₹7,927 crore.

In a statement, the government had said, "The proposed multi-tracking projects will ease operations and reduce congestion, providing the much-required infrastructural development on the busiest sections between Mumbai and Prayagraj."
It added, "The projects are in line with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji’s vision of a New India, which will make people of the region ‘Atmanirbhar’ by way of comprehensive development in the area, which will enhance their employment/self-employment opportunities."
These projects will cover seven districts in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, expanding the Indian Railways network by around 639 kilometres.
