Panel formed by VISL to review draft docu; authorities likely to green-light process in 10 days

- UNNIKRISHNAN S @T'Puram

IN A strategic move to attract cargo traffic from southern states to Vizhinjam port, a vital railway link connecting it to the national rail network is on the verge of approval. Authorities are expected to green-light the tender process in the next 10 days, marking a significant milestone in the port's evolution into a cargo gateway.

A committee formed by Vizhinjam International Seaport Ltd (VISL) will review the draft tender document submitted by the Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd (KRCL). The tender is expected to be published in August, with the contract proposed to be awarded by November this year. This will initiate construction of the 10.7km-long railway line, including a 9.43km tunnel, which will be the third longest railway tunnel in India.
