cost of Rs.81,459 crore (excluding cost of Sonnagar-Dankuni Section of
Eastern DFC).
The present status of project implementation is: (i) Compensation Award of 85% of land has been completed, (ii) 65% of civil contract and 48% of system contract have been awarded, (iii) The physical progress of civil work is 20%.
The freight carrying capacity of the two corridors would be over 500 billion NTKM per year.
