What happened
Konkan Railway is described as created on 19 July 1990, with the first passenger train on 20 March 1993 between Udupi and Mangalore and full operations of trains on 26 January 1998 (source: Konkan Railway Corporation Limited page).
One page describes funding as Government of India 51%, Maharashtra 22%, Karnataka 15%, Kerala 6% and Goa 6%, with headquarters at CBD Belapur in Navi Mumbai (source: Konkan Railway page). A separate corporation page says it is wholly owned by the Government of India (100%) and headquartered at CBD Belapur in Navi Mumbai (source: Konkan Railway Corporation Limited page).
The operator's own site identifies the operator as Konkan Railway Corporation Limited, Ministry of Railways and describes the 741-kilometre line connecting Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka States (source: konkanrailway.com homepage).
A later upgrade note states partial doubling and full Roha-Thokur wiring finished March 2022 (source: Konkan Railway page, month precision only, no exact day given).
What we could not confirm
Shareholding left null because two opened pages conflict (51%+states including Goa 6% vs 100% GoI) and no official KRCL annual report/MCA filing could be fetched to resolve it; official 2024-25 or 2025-26 revenue/profit/employees not available in fetchable pages so financials and employees left null; district left null because exact district of Belapur not stated in opened excerpts; date uses last exact-day milestone (1998-01-26) since March 2022 wiring lacked a day and no 2025-2026 audited results or press release could be fetched; DuckDuckGo search, DPE, PIB and several KRCL subpages failed to fetch (cert/403/socket errors).
