Railway Budget 2015: Rail Budget builds on the existing infrastructure, harps on passenger comfort
New Delhi, Feb 26: Railway Budget, this year, is being looked upon for more than one reason. Being the first rail budget after the NDA government's victory at the Centre, this would be a litmus test for the ministry to meet the expectations of the people.

While railway minister Suresh Prabhu may stay clear of the populist sops, he is likely to highlight the following points:

- No new trains
- Bullet trains and AC rakes
- Make in India in railways
- Disabled-friendly railway rakes
- IT and Wifi
- Security
- Green Program
