The electrification work of Udaipur railway station is at its final stage now. After the entire work is done, the line will be tested and then Udaipur will have electric trains running. It may be noted that the line from Udaipur to Debari was tested on 28^th January. An electric engine was operated on this route as testing measures. It took a long time to install electrical poles on the 10 km long route from Debari to Udaipur as the route is quite a rocky area. A test is yet to be carried out on the Ghosunda route. Since the work is in progress and quite in speed, it is expected that Udaipur will have electric engines running on its tracks at the earliest.

Spreading of electrical lines has been done in most of the areas and the level of wires is being tested. It is just that Mewar and the regions nearby may not be benefitted to a good extent with this electrification as the route is a rocky area having too many turns. Railways have decided not to exceed the speed of train by more than 100 km per hour because of the serpentile route.
