The electrification project between Pune and Daund was undergoing for three and half years now. After facing several hurdles like non-availability of space to set up power station, it is now in final stage.

The first trial run of electric-locomotive was successfully completed on Tuesday. Railway authorities flagged off electric-locomotive from Pune in the afternoon reached Daund and returned to Pune without facing any technical glitch or hurdle.

Now some basic work is still left to run local trains on a continuous basis, like leveling of platforms as per the height of local train; increasing length of platforms to accommodate local trains.

After completion of work, safety checks will be carried out for passenger safety; once finalized, it is then only railway will flag off full-fledged operation of local trains.
