Trains announced in Railway Budget 2010-11 are introduced during the course of the same year i.e. 2010-11. Indian Railways do not introduce new train service on State-wise basis as railway network runs across State boundaries. The works on the surveys of the new Line projects at various locations announced in Rail Budget 2010-11 have been taken up.
