The Planning Commission has prepared blueprints of four dedicated freight corridors-Kolkata-Mumbai; Delhi-Chennai; Kharagpur-Vijayawada and Chennai-Goa which are expected to be taken up by the new UPA government.
At present, Ludhiana-Kolkata (Eastern Corridor) and Delhi-Mumbai (Western Corridor) projects are ready for implementation. The total length of these two corridors is around 2,762 km and the project is likely to entail an investment of Rs 28,000-Rs 37,000 crore.
