IR to develop dedicated corridors for cement transportation

IR is planning to develop dedicated corridors for cement transportation. The corridors will be planned in such a way that they pass through are­as with a high concentration of cement factories and depots for raw materials such as clinker, limestone and fly ash. The national transporter is working on multiple plans to increase the modal share of cargo transported by  railways. Cement and its raw materials have the third highest-share in the total freight moved by the railways.
