Chennai : India and Japan were likely to sign an agreement next month for developing a dedicated freight corridor that would connect Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, Commerce Secretary G.K. Pillai said here Monday.
About 200 freight trains would ply on the proposed corridor, Pillai told reporters.
"This will significantly reduce the time taken for transporting goods from one metro to another and reduce transport load on the roads," he said.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two countries is likely to be signed next month when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visits India.
