Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC)

Government of India plans to develop a Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) linking Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai. The proposed DFC passes through six states in India, of which Gujarat accounts for 38% (564 km) of total DFC length (1483 km). The influenced area of 150 km on either sides of DFC is being developed as Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). Almost 62% of total area of Gujarat (18 out of 26 districts) would be benefited by DMIC development. The State Government identified 82 links in the DMIC influenced area to upgrade them into two/four lane carriageway offering connectivity between ports, industrial estates, hinterlands, markets and points of agricultural produce.
