Railway lists Rs. 20,000-cr port-rail link projects
In an attempt to provide top class connectivity to ports across the country, the ministry of Railways will take up 21 port-rail connectivity projects at an estimated cost of Rs. 20,000 crore under the Sagarmala project. The move has been aimed at strengthening evacuation network and boost last-mile connectivity to the country's ports. In addition, another six projects are being considered by the Indian Port Rail Corporation Ltd. (IPRCL), said sources claiming that IPRCL has already awarded three connectivity projects for Vishakhapatnam and Chennai ports for quick evacuation of cargo and another 19 projects are in the pipeline. Many port-rail connectivity projects have been identified as part of the National Perspective Plan. Under the Sagarmala programme, the ministry has also included development of heavy haul rail line linking Paradip port. The project will help in transportation of thermal coal from Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd. (MCL) to various coastal power plants in southern India through coastal shipping.
