Move over 'inordinate delay' in executing crucial stretch of Western DFC

The Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL) has issued termination notice to Tata Projects-partnered consortium over “intolerable” delays in the execution of a crucial stretch of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC). The section is a part of a 422-kilometre contract estimated at Rs 4,328 crore.

The Express Freight Consortium, which comprises Japanese infrastructure firm Mitsui & Co., state-owned Ircon International, and Tata Projects, has been served a termination notice over the much-delayed Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT)-connecting stretch of the Western DFC, with ultimatums issued for stretches delayed, multiple executives in the know confirmed to Business Standard.
