- Ministry of Railways push to scale non-AC (General + Sleeper) coach capacity, anchored by the Amrit Bharat Express service, to serve low/middle-income passengers at sub-₹500/1,000 km fares.
- Combines record rolling-stock manufacture, station redevelopment (Amrit Bharat Station Scheme), and ticketing reforms — a recurring GS-III (Infrastructure) and GS-II (Welfare) theme.
