About the project
The section was first due in March 2025, then December 2025. Land acquisition and encroachments delayed it, and later the signalling and overhead electrification work. DFCCIL announced the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor complete on 31 March 2026, when this section came into operation. Targets announced only as a month or a year are shown as the last day of that month or year.
