Private Sidings Electrification Cost
Private Sidings Electrification Cost
For new electrified sidings, siding owners pay all overhead line equipment (OHE) costs, which includes initial construction and maintenance.
Non-Electrified Private Siding Electrification
Non-Electrified Private Siding Electrification
New non-electrified sidings must agree to pay all OHE costs if the main line is electrified within 10 years.
Existing Private Siding Electrification
Existing Private Siding Electrification
For existing sidings, cost sharing for electrification is possible if justified, with 50% covered by the Railway. If the siding owner declines to pay their share, they must use their own locomotives.

Study Notes
Electrification of Private and Assisted Sidings
-
Rules for construction, operation, and maintenance of private and assisted sidings are outlined in Chapter XVIII of the Engineering Code.
-
Sharing Costs (Private Sidings):
- New Electrified Sidings: Entire cost of overhead line equipment (OHE) is borne by siding owners. Maintenance costs are also shared.
- New Non-Electrified Sidings: Siding owners must agree to cover electrification costs if the line is electrified within 10 years. Maintenance costs are theirs.
- Existing Electrified Sidings: Potential 50% cost-sharing arrangement with the Railway for electrification improvements, if financially justified. No departmental charges during cost calculation. Siding owners may have to bear their share of OHE cost if they don't agree to share. Movement on the siding will use their own locomotives.
-
Sharing Costs (Assisted Sidings):
- Retrievable OHE: Railways cover cost, but the siding owners bear the cost of the non-retrievable part of the OHE system. Interest and maintenance costs are also borne by the siding owner.
- New Assisted Sidings: Siding agreements must include provisions for future electrification costs if the main line is electrified.
- Existing Assisted Sidings:
- Electrification of an assisted siding if needed for its operation. The cost and responsibility is borne by the Railways and the siding owner.
- If a siding is already electrified, Railways must provide the OHE equipment and costs. If the siding has its own system, then the Railways own is not needed.
- The siding must provide, and bear effort, to have the ability to recover the costs in the case of their own electrified systems.
