Bharuch-Dahej Rail line to generate Rs 1,000-cr revenue

In Gujarat, the 64-km-long Bharuch-Dahej Rail Corridor (BDRC) that passes through a fast-growing industrial zone is looking to tap Rs 1,000-crore annual revenue by the end of the current fiscal. The Corridor is to become functional in the next six months to handle bulk and container cargo.

Along the route, the BDRC is working on adding goods shed facilities. The corridor, an initiative of the Indian Railways in the Western Railway Division, started in December 2011 after converting the narrow gauge line to broad gauge and became fully functional by March 2012.
