This initiative by the India Railways and Government is an excellent move towards improving the rail connectivity not only inter state but also intra state. Such initiatives may reduce the road traffic congestion of the cities to a larger extent providing faster transportation. In addition to this, the connectivity through the key corridors of the states are most likely to improve. The PPP mode of execution of the project seems to open up huge opportunities for the contractors and EPC players.
