| Obverse description | The State Emblem of India, the Lion Capital of Ashoka, is depicted centrally in the field, showing three lions passant upon an abacus decorated with a Dharma Chakra flanked by a horse and bull in relief. The national motto in Devanagari script, 'सत्यमेव जयते' (Satyameva Jayate), appears in the field immediately below the emblem. The country name 'भारत' in Devanagari arcs along the left periphery and 'INDIA' in Latin script arcs along the right periphery. The denomination '₹100', incorporating the official Indian Rupee symbol, is prominently displayed in large numerals in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
India's railway electrification program, which began in earnest in the 1990s and accelerated dramatically after 2014 under a Ministry of Railways mandate, reached 100% broad gauge electrification of its route network in 2023 — one of the largest such infrastructure completions in rail history. The commemorative issue marks that achievement, struck in a quaternary silver alloy that the Indian Government Mint has favored for its 100-rupee collector series since the denomination's introduction.
