In the agreement, RVNL and SMPK have agreed to cooperate and collaborate to augment the capacity of rail infrastructure for the port on a fast-track basis. The agreement opened the scope to form a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to undertake project development, resource mobilization, and implementation of railways projects including port and hinterland connectivity. The rail infrastructure under SMPK also needs up-gradation and expansion given the huge jump in the volume of cargo handling at these two dock systems. A task force would be formed with the functionaries of both the SMPK and RVNL.
