Multimodal transport model of containers
Dedicated Freight Corridor: Increased axle load from 22.5 to 32.5tonnes. Lot of players in the game like GE, Bombardier, Adani logistics, Infinite Logistics(JV of Concor/reliance), Pipavav Railway Corp, Kutch Railway Corp, etc
That’s a new one – should be very interesting from IRs point of view – particularly for the planners who want to rake in the moolah from freight – and also let us poor cousins travel free – subsidized by freight – though like sardines
