## ANSWER

These  projects  are  new  age  transport  solutions,  which  meet  the aspirations of the people and facilitate faster mobility. Implementation of  Dedicated  Freight  Corridors  (DFCs)  and  High  Speed  Rail  (HSR) corridors  are  highly  capital  intensive  and  advanced  technological projects requiring huge capital investments.

Government has decided to undertake survey/preparation of Detailed Project  Report  (DPR)  for  the  DFCs  on  the  following  potential  routes including exploring options for financing:-

- (i)
- East-Coast Corridor - From Kharagpur to Vijayawada
- (ii)
- East-West corridor:
- (i)  From Palghar to Dankuni;
- (ii) From Rajkharsawan  to Andal
- (iii) North-South Sub-corridor - From Vijayawada to Itarsi

In addition, the Government has also decided to undertake Survey/DPRs  for  HSR  corridors  on  the  following  potential  routes including exploring options for financing:-

- (i)

- Delhi-Ahmedabad
- Mumbai-Nagpur
- Mumbai-Hyderabad
- (v) Chennai-Bangalore-Mysore
- (vi)
- Delhi-Chandigarh-Amritsar
- (vii)
- Varanasi-Howrah

However,  sanctioning  of  any  new  DFC/HSR  Project  depends  on  many factors including techno-economic feasibility, resource availability and financing options.
