Ircon's top agenda: Rs. 13,000-crore rail projects to better coal traffic.

State-run Ircon International has said it would complete four railway projects by March 2023 to boost coal evacuation from states like Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. These projects are worth over Rs 13,200 crore. “Priority is being given to completion of these rail projects.

Some of these projects for which we are representing the railways will be completed by 2020 itself. For some projects like Chhattisgarh East West Railway, we are in an advance stage of financial closure,” said S K Chaudhary, chairman and managing director of Ircon, a railway subsidiary.|
