Train to Kashmir: How the region’s rst rail link with the rest of India will impact its key sectors

The first-ever rail service connecting Srinagar with the rest of the country is set to launch this month, connecting India’s northernmost region like never before. The much-anticipated Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Project (USBRL) promises to transform the Kashmir Valley by seamlessly integrating Kashmir with the rest of India.

Indian Railways has said that a Vande Bharat Sleeper train will be launched on the track in January, covering over 800 kilometres and connecting New Delhi to Srinagar.

Until now, the only rail connectivity in the region was an internal line inaugurated in 2009, connecting Banihal in the Jammu division with Baramulla in North Kashmir.
