more... the Khurja-Kanpur stretch will be operational by March 2018; Durgawati-Sasaram during the current fiscal, Mughalsarai-Sonnagar by December 2017 and Kanpur to Mughlsarai by December 2018. In the Western corridor, Rewari-Iqbalgarh will be done by June 2018, Iqbalgarh-Vadodara by March 2019. By December 2019, every portion of DFCCIL will be complete."
