The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has completed major electrification works in the Tinsukia Division, marking a key milestone in its electrification programme. Successful inspection and testing were carried out on the Tinsukia–Dangari and Makum–Ledo sections.

With this, NFR has electrified 4,170.19 route kilometres out of 4,324.15 RKM, achieving 96.43 per cent electrification across the zone as of December 31, 2025.
