Freight corridor to be completed by 2019: Suresh Prabhu
Jun 7, 2016, 08.08PM IST [ Himanshu Kaushik ]

AHMEDABAD: Railway minister Suresh Prabhu on Tuesday offered all help to the state to start a lion safari express on the lines Tiger Express aimed at spreading awareness on conversation of the big cats. He also promised that the much awaited Dedicated Freight Corridor between Mumbai-Delhi will be commissioned by 2019. While the minister that that the country's first bullet train will roll between Ahmedabad and Mumbai by 2023.


Prabhu was in Mehsana on Tuesday where he laid foundation for several projects including gauge conversion and electrification between Ahmedabad and Mehsana, laying a third line between Ahmedabad-Vatva and a double track between Viramgam and Rajkot.
Prabhu said, "Nearly 90 per cent of the tenders pertaining to DFC projects have been awarded, while the remaining will be awarded in two months' time." Nearly 38 per cent of the 1,504 km long west DFC corridor passes through Gujarat. This corridor connects Jawahar Lal Nehru Port Trust, Mumbai to Dadri in Uttar Pradesh via Vadodara, Sanand and Palanpur.

Railways to seek cabinet approval for funds for three new dedicated freight corridor

NEW DELHI: Firming up plans for expansion of the dedicated freight corridor (DFC) network, railways will seek cabinet approval for arranging fund and acquiring land for the new three dedicated corridors.

Railway Budget 2016-17 has proposed the total 5769 km long track comprising three more dedicated freight corridors in the country to ensure faster movement of goods.

RITES has undertaken the preliminary engineering and traffic system study of the proposed three new routes to ascertain the traffic projection and the report has been submitted to railways, DFCC Managing Director Aadesh Sharma said here today.

The proposed new routes are the 2327 km long East - West Corridor connecting Kolkata to Mumbai, the 2328 km long North - South Corridor linking Delhi with Chennai and the 1114 km long East Coast Corridor from Kharagpur to Vijaywada.

Railways will go to cabinet for approval of arranging funds and beginning the process of acquiring land for the new corridors, he said.

The market share of railways is expected to go up to 50 per cent from the current 18 per cent with the operation of DFC.

While railways will earn revenue from freight movement on the dedicated corridors, DFCC will earn access charge which is about 35 per cent to 40 per cent of the revenue earnings.

GMR Infra advances as consortium bags Eastern dedicated freight corridor project
Capital Market | Jun 08, 2016 09:48 AM IST

GMR Infrastructure rose 3.39% to Rs 11.91 at 09:35 IST on BSE after the company led consortium bagged 221-km of Eastern dedicated freight corridor project.

The announcement was made after market hours yesterday, 7 June 2016.
Meanwhile, the S&P BSE Sensex was up 18.60 points or 0.07% at 27,028.27

On BSE, so far 6.47 lakh shares were traded in the counter as against average daily volume of 13.78 lakh shares in the past one quarter. The stock hit a high of Rs 12 and a low of Rs 11.80 so far during the day. The stock had hit a 52-week high of Rs 18.60 on 3 December 2015. The stock had hit a record low of Rs 9.58 on 4 September 2015.

The mid-cap company has equity capital of Rs 603.59 crore. Face value per share is Re 1.

GMR Infrastructure led consortium has been issued a letter of award for construction of 221-km long Eastern dedicated freight corridor railway project at a cost of Rs 2280.70 crore on EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) basis.

GMR Group is not required to provide significant investment for the project since it is implemented on EPC basis, GMR Infrastructure said. Earlier in April 2016, GMR led consortium emerged as the successful bidder amongst a total of six bidders for the project through an international competitive bidding process, the company said. The scope of work in the recently bagged project involves design and construction of civil, structures and track works for single/double line on design-build lump sum basis, it added.

The project funded by World Bank is divided into two packages. The first package comprises of 175 km single line connecting Sahnewal and Pilkhani that passes through Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab. The other package is a 46 km double line corridor in Uttar Pradesh connecting Dadri and Khurja.

GMR Infrastructure's consolidated net loss stood at Rs 953.50 crore in Q4 March 2016, higher than consolidated net loss of Rs 891.90 crore in Q4 March 2015. Total income rose 26.3% to Rs 3828.68 crore in Q4 March 2016 over Q4 March 2015.

GMR Group is a leading global infrastructure conglomerate with interests in airports, energy, transportation and urban infrastructure. The group has fifteen power generation projects, nine operating road assets and a double rail track line of eastern dedicated freight corridor under development.

Anybody know how far along the other corridors are?

@fsayed if we can continue to build our infrastructure like this for 10-15 years more, at this pace, then we are very much in the race to become a truly middle income country, and to be in the top league of nations.

Proposed Dedicated Freight Corridors[4] Edit
Bangalore - Chennai Dedicated Freight Corridor
This DFC goes through Bangalore-Chennai Industrial Corridor promoted by Japan & India.(There are proposals to extend this line to Mangalore to connect India's biggest Petrochemical complex, international air-cargo facility(direct flights to gulf and Europe) and major seaport in Mangalore with Whitefield ICD(Inland Container Depot), through a tunnel being constructed with the help of Japan in Western ghats.[5][6] This will result in hazardous petrochemicals currently being transported by road through tankers migrated to the railway cargo, resulting in efficiency improvements in country's energy security and safety to the common people living alongside national highways).

This project is bigger then any project in Asia currently around 90 billions of dollars even almost double then CPEC

So India is going to be a $40TN economy after it is complete, right, right*????!!!

* according to many esteemed members on PDF, $46BN is going to increase Pakistan's GDP by a factor of ten so $90BN will increase India's by a factor of twenty, surly?

Friends This project is actually struck all thanks to Kongress regime bring land law, farmers not agree to give land 15 % land still need to be acquired.

Around 95% of the land for the WDFC has been purchsed (stated by the Railway Minister a few weeks back). The WDFC will be complete/operational fully in late 2018/early 2019. The UPA really lost their way with this project despite it being a very good concept, they did a poor job in its execution.

Shouldn't the dollars start flowing from Indian drains too?

Not so, because DFC is NO CPEC perhaps?
