Three rail projects approved to speed up transport of coal, iron ore

PM Gati Shakti approved three rail projects totaling 850 km in length to speed up the movement of coal and iron ore.

The third project is the now-approved third and fourth dedicated freight rail routes, which will run from Sonnagar in Bihar to Andal in West Bengal, connecting Jharkhand's coal and steel belt and the Haldia port to North India. So far, the NPG, led by Prime Minister Gati Shakti, has authorised 66 projects totaling Rs. 4.73 trillion in 44 sessions for holistic planning, including a total of 24 projects totaling Rs. 70 billion to improve connection to economic clusters.

According to PM Gati Shakti, the concept of multi-modal logistics parks is being worked on to achieve world efficiency standards. Sectoral logistics plans are being developed under the National Logistics Strategy to identify lacking infrastructure links in industries such as coal, cement, steel, and fertilisers. Hundreds of infrastructure gaps, such as missing road and rail links, are being addressed, and efforts are being made to construct pipelines of infrastructure projects to entice investors by providing external connectivity.
