INDIA – Following on from the HSG story of the 24th August regarding the freight project at Madhya Pradesh, comes news of a further development in the Country planned to streamline and modernise logistics and transport, this time in the Delhi to Mumbai industrial corridor.
A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the Haryana State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation and the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Ltd.

About 25% of India's total production of sanitary-ware and bicycles are also made in the district.
