Pune: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday mooted an idea of creating a dedicated rail freight corridor to link ports, such as Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) and the upcoming Vadhvan Port with the Samruddhi Expressway, saying it would significantly reduce cost of logistics.
Speaking at the inauguration of electronics manufacturing company Jabil's new manufacturing facility in Pune, Fadnavis said the proposed corridor would connect ports with inland dry ports and industrial hubs across Maharashtra, which will ultimately integrate a larger part of the state into global supply chains.
