India is working on an ambitious plan to create energy, mineral and cement transport corridors for the seamless movement of coal, iron ore, bauxite and cement. The corridors will aim to de-bottleneck the existing railways network. The projects will include upgrading track infrastructure by doubling of existing routes and creation of alternative routes to avoid congested areas.
