It is about one year since the standard gauge railway project was commissioned. Where are we today?

Over 95 per cent of the SGR corridor has been acquired and is workable now. More than 272 kilometres of sub-grade has been completed, accounting for 60 per cent of the entire line. More than 14 kilometres of railway bridges have been completed, accounting for 59 per cent of the whole line.
