HRIDC to Study Feasibility of Eastern Rail Corridor Project

The Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (HRIDC) has commenced a feasibility study for the Eastern Orbital Rail Corridor project. This ambitious initiative aims to enhance connectivity and reduce traffic congestion in the region. The corridor, once operational, will link Sonipat, Jhajjar, and Palwal districts, creating a more efficient rail network.

The feasibility study will assess various factors, including potential routes, environmental impact, and economic viability. HRIDC's objective is to develop an infrastructure that meets future transportation needs while minimising environmental disruption. This project is expected to play a crucial role in easing traffic on the heavily congested roads of the National Capital Region (NCR).

Officials believe that the Eastern Orbital Rail Corridor will provide a significant boost to the local economy by improving access to key industrial zones and logistics hubs. This enhanced connectivity is anticipated to attract investment, create jobs, and facilitate smoother movement of goods and people across the region.

The corridor will also integrate with existing and upcoming rail networks, ensuring seamless travel for passengers and freight. It aims to reduce the dependency on road transport, thereby cutting down pollution and vehicular congestion.

HRIDC is collaborating with various stakeholders, including local authorities and environmental experts, to ensure the project aligns with sustainable development goals. The study's findings will guide the project's planning and execution phases, setting the foundation for a modern, efficient, and environmentally friendly rail corridor.

The Eastern Orbital Rail Corridor represents a significant step towards modernising Haryana's transportation infrastructure, promising long-term economic and environmental benefits.
