He said the Commission will comprise one Chairperson, one Member (Part-Time), and one Member-Secretary.
The projects will increase the existing network of Indian Railways by approximately 894 km, enhancing connectivity to around 3,633 villages with a population of 85.84 lakh people.

The projects, worth Rs 4,600 crore, will be set up in Odisha, Punjab, and Andhra Pradesh, and are expected to generate employment for 2,034 skilled professionals.
The project will generate 2,738.06 million units of energy and improve the power supply position in Arunachal Pradesh
