DFCCIL and IRFC have signed a refinancing pact for ₹10,000 crore of World Bank dollar loans for the Eastern freight corridor, a move expected to save the government ₹2,700 crore
The Eastern arm of DFCCIL's Dedicated Freight Corridor has been cut short by 538 km, leaving a key segment unfinished due to land acquisition issues and weakening economic viability
DFCC has so far commissioned 1,010 kilometres (km) of the proposed 2,843 km, pertaining to stretches undertaken by the government for both the corridors
