Approval granted for Rs 8.58 billion rail line DPR

The Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India had approved the detailed project report of a 3.5km rail project. It was announced that the project would be constructed with a budget of Rs 8.58 billion. The purpose of the project was to establish connectivity between the logistics and transport hub that was being developed in Greater Noida and the New Dadri railway station.

It was announced by the Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida (IITGNL) that they would provide funding of Rs 8.58 billion for the logistics and transport hub. Ritu Maheshwari, the CEO of IITGNL, instructed officials to issue a tender to hire a consultant to initiate work on the multimodal transport and logistics hub.

Maheshwari stated that the multimodal logistics and transport hub was a significant project not only for Greater Noida but also for the surrounding areas. She emphasised the need to accelerate work on these projects, as they would create 100,000 jobs directly and indirectly.

She further mentioned that the completion of the rail link was expected within three years.

The logistics hub, which was part of the integrated industrial township in Dadri, Chithera, Junpat, Kathera, Palla, Pali, and Bodaki, was being jointly developed by the National Industrial Corridor Development and Implementation Trust and the Greater Noida authority.

The multimodal logistics hub covered an area of 333 hectares, while the transport hub was being developed over 145 hectares in Greater Noida.

Maheshwari explained that this project would enable the transportation of cargo from Greater Noida to Gujarat, Kolkata, and Mumbai within 24 hours. She pointed out that currently, without rail connectivity, it takes four to five days to ship cargo to these cities.
