Twin tunnels for double-decker trains on anvil in Aravallis

The rail corridor is meant to primarily cater to the industrial centres of southern fringes of Haryana like Manesar and Sohna as well as Kharkhoda in Sonipat, which is the automobile hub of the future with Maruti setting up its new manufacturing plant there. The orbital rail corridor is being built along the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway, Managing Director of HRIDC, Rajesh Agarwal, said adding that the twin tunnels and viaduct involve complex engineering challenges as they will come in the Aravallis. Only after determining all the technical parameters, the nodal agency will invite tenders in the next few months and the project is expected to be completed by 2026, he added.
