Regarding need for fresh survey to reassess the viability of
the region for proposed
Delhi-Bhiwandi-Neemrana-Manoharpur-Jaipur Railway
Project-Laid
SHRI RAO RAJENDRA SINGH (JAIPUR RURAL): In 2008, Delhi
Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), first industrial corridor on the
backbone of Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) was first
formulated, covering an overall length of 1504 km between Delhi
and Mumbai. With a financial outlay of Rs. 81,549 Cr. The project
was one of the largest railway infrastructure projects that the
country had seen. Out of the 5 initial early BIRD projects being
contemplated by the ministry, one was
Delhi?Bhiwadi-Neemrana-Manoharpur-Jaipur Rail Line (With a
speed of 100/200Kmh). After initial clearances, the project could
unfortunately not be incorporated under the corridor. Multiple
establishments in the area that were burgeoning around this
project did not come up as the project. With the economic progress
of the region being intertwined with this project, for the
development of the region it is essential for the project to
materialise. The government should therefore consider a fresh
survey of the region in order to reassess the viability of the project
in the region.
