Rail line DPR worth Rs 8.58 billion gets approval

The detailed project report of a 3.5km rail project had been approved by the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India. The project is set to be constructed at a budget of Rs 8.58 billion. Its purpose is to establish connectivity between the logistics and transport hub being developed in Greater Noida and the New Dadri railway station.

The Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida (IITGNL) announced that it would provide Rs 8.58 billion funding for the logistics and transport hub under development. Ritu Maheshwari, CEO, IITGNL, instructed officials to issue a tender to hire a consultant for initiating work on the multimodal transport and logistics hub.

Maheshwari stated that the multimodal logistics and transport hub was a significant project for not only Greater Noida but also the surrounding areas. She emphasised the acceleration of work on these projects, which would generate 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 is part of the integrated industrial township in Dadri, Chithera, Junpat, Kathera, Palla, Pali, and Bodaki, is being jointly developed by the National Industrial Corridor Development and Implementation Trust and the Greater Noida authority.

The multimodal logistics hub covers an area of 333 hectares, while the transport hub is 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. Currently, without rail connectivity, it takes four to five days to ship cargo to these cities.

Additionally, the Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor, of which these projects are a part, would benefit the cities of western Uttar Pradesh as farmers would be able to transport their agricultural produce to other cities within 24 hours.

According to Maheshwari, the integrated industrial township in Greater Noida is well on its way to becoming a hub for manufacturing units specialising in electronic products and other items.
