What saving in the cost of moving one container is expected from the Sindi Railway project?
- A.From Rs 2 lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh
- B.From Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 1 lakh
- C.From Rs 1 lakh to Rs 60,000
- D.From Rs 3 lakh to Rs 2 lakh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 1 lakh. The dry port at Sindi Railway will let cotton, cotton lint, textiles and oranges of Vidarbha travel to Bangladesh through Haldia in Kolkata instead of being hauled to Mumbai first, and this shorter journey is what brings the freight for one container down to the lower figure. Farmers of the Vidarbha region are expected to gain from the saving. Options A and D are wrong because the starting cost in both is higher than the figure given for the present journey, so the saving they describe does not match the project. Option C is wrong because it begins at the level the project hopes to reach, not at the level it starts from. Cargo taking the Mumbai-Colombo-Dhaka route will also spend less time on the way, and the first rake carrying Maruti cars has already begun running from the site.
