TRAI's Independent Drive Test released in November 2026 covered a railway route of what length?
- A.315.9 km
- B.415.9 km
- C.515.9 km
- D.615.9 km
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 515.9 km. The regulator stated that the drive test in the Assam Licensed Service Area covered that length of railway along with 2 hotspot locations, and that it was conducted on 11 September 2026 under the supervision of its regional office at Kolkata. The other three options name distances that the regulator did not report for this route, so they are wrong. The stretch ran from New Tinsukia to Guwahati by way of Simaluguri Junction, Mariani Junction, Furkating Junction, Dimapur, Diphu and Lumding Junction, while the two hotspots, which capture the experience of a stationary user, were the railway stations at Guwahati and New Tinsukia. On the same stretch the regulator also counted poor signal samples and dropped calls for each operator, and the detailed maps form part of the report on its website.
