The Ministry of Railways, as part of its ambitious energy corridor programme, is likely to sanction 107 coal-connectivity projects worth Rs 94,153 crore soon, multiple senior officials working on the plan told Business Standard.
The projects await the final nod of the Railway Board, and will kick-start the second phase of the Rs 2-trillion master plan.
These projects, primarily based in coal-rich states in East and South East India, will span a distance of 5,165 kilometres (km), focusing primarily on the establishment of new lines, gauge conversion for broader tracks, and network electrification for seamless movement of freight trains.
