Nice to have alternatives to Suez canal, especially after witnessing the recent blockage and pile up.
Innovation is the key. To have alternatives, always helps. Less scope for monopoly and arm-twisting by a single entity.
Very nice development .. nice to know there is viable alternate to Suez for Eurpoean cargoes to India And vice versa
It’s a day of great pleasure. Would be more happy if details of the Block Train composition is known including Power i.e.Electric Or Diesel power.
