PM in Vadodara<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister will dedicate to the nation three important sections of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC), covering 326 route kilometres and developed at a cost of more than \u20b920,700 crore. These include the New Sanand (N)- New Makarpura, New Umbergaon-New Saphale and New Saphale- New JNPT sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The direct connectivity of Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) will facilitate faster movement of EXIM cargo, strengthen connectivity between industrial centres and ports, reduce logistics costs and help decongest Mumbai\u2019s railway network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the commissioning of these sections, the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) network will stand fully operational across its entire length. The dedicated freight infrastructure will further strengthen the country\u2019s logistics ecosystem by improving multimodal connectivity, reducing transit time and facilitating seamless movement of cargo across different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister will also flag off freight train services from New Sanand (North), New Makarpura, New Umbergaon and New JNPT, Mumbai. In addition, he will flag off a new passenger train service between Tanda Road and Vadodara (Pratapnagar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister will dedicate to the nation the Jobat\u2013Tanda Road new rail line, developed as part of the Chhota Udepur\u2013Dhar project. The new rail line will connect remote and tribal areas of Alirajpur with the national rail network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for three railway projects spanning 329 kilometres and costing more than \u20b99,700 crore. These include the Vadodara-Ratlam third and fourth lines, Miyagam Karjan-Choranda\u2013Malsar gauge conversion and the Vishwamitri-Dabhoi doubling project. The projects will enhance passenger and freight capacity, ease congestion and strengthen connectivity between Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for three National Highway projects costing around \u20b91,780 crore. These include six-laning of the Kamrej-Chalthan section of NH-48; construction of additional structures, including major bridges over the Tapi and Narmada, on the Vadodara-Surat section of NH-48; and grade-separated structures at Abhava, Mindhola and Khajod junctions on NH-53.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for and inaugurate various Government of Gujarat projects worth around \u20b92,600 crore. Major projects for which the foundation stone will be laid include Vadodara Urban Development Authority Ring Road Phase II and a 110 MW floating solar project at Kadana Dam, construction of new office of Vadodara Municipal Corporation, among others.
