Mundra Port and Special Economic Zone Ltd (MPSEZ) said it started doubling the existing Mundra-Adipur 57 km private railway line to meet the growing demand of its port.
The additional line will be parallel to the existing one. It will have four crossing stations and 99 bridges. It will be capable to handle 25 tonne axle load wagons at 100 kmph. The line will be commissioned in two phases. The first phase of 30 km will be commissioned by June 2011 and rest by the end of 2011-12.
Indian Railway has already doubled their track between Samaikhiali-Adipur and with the doubling of Adipur-Mundra by Adani Group and Samaikhiali-Palanpur by the Kutch Railway Company Ltd, the entire route from the Mundra Port to northern India will be double line, with capacity to handle close to 60 million tonne cargo annually. With this, Mundra Port shall become the second port after Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) on the west coast, which shall be connected by double line rail corridor.
