New Bhaupur - New Khurja Section Of Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor

 India's prime minister is committed to the ambitious New Bhaupur-New Khurja section of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC) in Uttar Pradesh (UP).


Highlights:
♦ The construction cost of the 351 km long New Bhaupur-New Khurja section of the EDFC is Rs. 5,750 crores and most of its part passes through UP.
♦ This part will alleviate the congestion on the existing Kanpur-Delhi mainline and allow Indian Railways to run faster trains.
♦ UP's agricultural products will now reach the rest of the country at a faster speed.
♦ This will increase the state's export capacity, which is a landlocked area and doesn't have any port to send the items abroad.
