Strategic line near chicken's neck to steel corridor, Cabinet clears key rail expansion projects
The Union Cabinet Thursday approved four railway expansion projects including a multitracking project near the strategic Siliguri corridor, another in one of India's highest steel production areas and one that will make up a part of the Delhi-Chennai high-density network These new projects, spanning a cumulative 574 km across 13 districts of six states, are estimated to cost Rs 11,168 crore. They involve the construction of the third and fourth lines between Aluabari Road and New Jalpaiguri (near the so-called chicken's neck), a fourth line between Itarsi and Nagpur which is part of the Delhi-Chennai network, and the third and fourth lines on the Dangoaposi-Jaroli iron and steel belt. The fourth project is the doubling of the railway line between Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) and Parbhani. The 297-km line between Itarsi (Madhya Pradesh) and Nagpur (Maharashtra) intersects with Mumbai-Howrah network at Nagpur. Officials said the fourth line will decongest the network and enable faster movement of trains. The construction of the line will be complex as it will have 37 stations, 36 major and 415 minor bridges, two overpasses, 74 underpasses, four tunnels and two rail overbridges. Its total estimated cost is Rs 5,451 crore. The 57-km Aluabari-New Jalpaiguri third and fourth line, which passes through Bihar's Kishanganj and three districts of West Bengal, is of strategic importance as it passes near the only route to enter the North-East from rest of India. It is near the international borders with Bhutan, Bangladesh and Nepal. The project will have 99 bridges, three overpasses and eight underpasses. Officials said the line expansion will help in the movement of 21.6 million additional tons of cargo. The 43-km Dangoaposi-Jaroli project connects Odisha's Kendujhar district with Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district, which is one of the highest steel production areas. A senior official of the Ministry of Railways said that the line expansion will connect iron ores to steel production units and will play a crucial role in meeting the annual steel production target of 300 million tons. The project will cost around Rs 1,752 crore. The 177-km Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar-Parbhani doubling project in Maharashtra will improve connectivity in the Marathwada region and provide an alternative route between Mumbai and Secunderabad. It will also connect the Jalna dry port and goods sheds at Dinagaon and Daulatabad, besides supporting the upcoming Aurangabad Industrial City. Railway officials said the line doubling will facilitate the movement of 14.3 million tons of additional cargo from the region. The project includes the construction of 28 major and 161 minor bridges, and 29 underpasses. Dheeraj Mishra is a Principal correspondent with The Indian Express, Business Bureau.

'Comes from arrogance or ignorance': SS (UBT) MP counters Rahul Gandhi's 'dead economy' dig
New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's endorsement of US President Donald Trump's "Indian economy is dead" remark has not gone well with the Shiv Sena(UBT), a key alliance partner of the Congress in Maharashtra, as well as the INDIA bloc. Countering the Congress leader's sharp criticism of the government over handling of the Indian economy, SS (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said on Thursday, "calling it a dead economy can only come from a position of arrogance or ignorance", a remark signifying the "fractured" ties within the INDIA bloc. The sharp rebuttal to Rahul Gandhi's "dead economy" jibe by Priyanka Chaturvedi, a key Opposition voice, highlights the growing chasm between the alliance partners of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra - SS (UBT) and Congress, which have lately been growing sceptical of each other, over the coming together of the Thackeray brothers. Moreover, the SS(UBT) lawmaker's praise for the Modi government over steering the economy forward has left political watchers perplexed. Taking to the social media platform X, Priyanka Chaturvedi wrote, "There is enough legitimate data available to know that the Indian economy is in the top five of the world and one of the fastest growing economies." She further said that the government has to address economic challenges, wealth inequalities and unemployment issues, but these hurdles don't equate to a dead economy. Earlier in the day, the Gandhi scion, speaking to reporters outside the Parliament, backed the US President's remarks and repeated his claim that the Indian economy was dead, as there are no jobs and employment opportunities. "He is right, everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact," Rahul Gandhi told scribes, when asked on Trump's vague assessment of the Indian economy. Taking potshots at Rahul Gandhi's backing of Donald Trump, where the latter said that 'India and Russia can take their dead economies down together', she called it a "Trump'ed up" (fabricated) statement. Notably, Trump dropped a bombshell on Thursday as he mocked both India and Russia over business dealings and wrote on his Truth Social handle, "I don't care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India; their tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let's keep it that way."

Govt's Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-I costs exceed estimates by 40%: Nitin Gadkari
New Delhi: The expenses of the government's flagship project for national highways, Bharatmala Pariyojana (BMP) Phase-I, have already exceeded the estimated costs by 40% ( ₹2.18 lakh crore), union minister for transport and highways Nitin Gadkari said on Thursday. The Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase I, involving 24,800 km of new national highway infrastructure, was approved by the cabinet committee on economic affairs on October 24, 2017. (Representative photo) The project — initially proposed to be completed by 2022 — has seen only 76% (26,425 km) of the roads being tendered to contractors and 60% (20,770 km) of the roads completed so far, Gadkari said while replying to a question raised by Congress lawmaker Ramasahayam Raghuram Reddy from Telangana's Khammam in the Lok Sabha. He added that issues related to land acquisition, delays in pre-construction activities, financial difficulties faced by contractors, force majeure events, and a scarcity of construction materials have led to delays and cost overruns in certain projects. The Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase I, now set to be completed by 2027, involving 24,800 km of new national highway infrastructure, was approved by the cabinet committee on economic affairs on October 24, 2017, along with 10,000 km of previously planned national highway projects that are still pending.
