New 17.2 km long Gandhidham-Tuna-Tekra broad guage line opened

The newly constructed 17.2-km-long Gandhidham-Tuna-Tekra port rail opened recently. Constructed under the non-government route, one of the five public-private partnership (PPP) systems of the railways, the Rs 185 cr project has been funded by Kandla Port Trust.Under the non-government private line model, first-last-mile connectivity to the main railway line needs to be construed as an integral part of the main project. The line is expected to carry four to five trains per day and generate Rs 500 crore revenue in a year for the railways.
