Evidence

Analysis

In the interim Railway Budget for 2014-15, Kharge reported 1,532 km of new line, doubling and gauge conversion commissioned in 2013-14, against a revised target of 1,525 km.

The Railway Board's budget highlights for 2014-15 repeat the 1,532 km figure. The budget speech PDF carries the same sentence.

The figure is an official self-report; no independent CAG audit of the 2013-14 commissioning total was located.

Notes

The claim is a narrow year-end commissioning statistic from the Railway Budget speech, not a multi-year promise. Both evidence items are Railway Board documents; no independent audit figure was found. [ingest: 2 evidence link(s) blocked/unreachable to the checker; verify manually]
