Warum es wichtig ist
The project is part of India's efforts to enhance its railway infrastructure and reduce travel times between major cities.
Ahmedabad and Dholera in Gujarat will soon be connected by a semi-high-speed rail line, approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at an estimated cost of Rs 20,667 crore. This project, utilizing indigenous technology, aims to reduce travel time and boost regional development. The 134-km double rail line will operate at 200 kmph, integrating Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) with the broader railway network. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted the project’s design speed of 220 kmph and its role in the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. The project is expected to enhance connectivity for approximately 284 villages and reduce carbon emissions, aligning with India’s climate goals. Construction is slated to complete in four years, with anticipated benefits including reduced travel time to around 34 minutes between Sarkhej and Dholera, and environmental benefits equivalent to planting around 10 lakh trees.
