The Konkan Railway (abbreviated KR and कोरे) is a subsidiary zone of the Indian Railways. It is one of the 17 zones of the Indian Railways but without any divisional structure unlike other railways zones in India. It is operated by Konkan Railway Corporation Limited, headquartered at CBD Belapur in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. The first passenger train ran on Konkan railway tracks on 20 March 1993 between Udupi and Mangalore.[1] During its initial years of operation in the mountainous Konkan region, a spate of accidents prompted Konkan Railway to investigate new technologies. The anti-collision devices, the Sky Bus and RORO are a few of the innovations from Konkan Railway.[2] It was the missing link between Mumbai, Maharashtra and Mangalore, Karnataka and the southwestern coastal cities of India. The 741 km (461 mi) line connects Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka states in India. The first train on the completed track was flagged off on January 26, 1998, the Republic Day of India.

Freight response to the Konkan Railway was lukewarm, prompting the worried corporation to consider cutting rates.[28] With an outstanding debt of ₹3,375 crore, KRCL was banking on freight traffic to bail it out.[29] In an effort to attract freight traffic, the corporation began creating awareness among local industries on the route.
In 1999, the corporation introduced the Roll-on/roll-off (RORO) service, a unique road-rail synergy system, on the section between Kolad in Maharashtra and Verna in Goa,[31] which was extended up to Surathkal in Karnataka in 2004.[32][33] The RORO service, the first of its kind in India, allowed trucks to be transported on flatcars. It was highly popular,[2] carrying about 1.6 lakh trucks and bringing in over ₹120 crore worth of earnings to the corporation till 2009.
