After Nepal, India plans rail link to Bhutan

After resuming train operations to Nepal, the government now is expediting the plan to provide rail connectivity to Bhutan, which at present doesn’t have a railway network.

Sources said the survey will be taken up on priority and the 57.5-km project may require an investment of around Rs 1,000 crore. While the stretch falling in the Indian portion is mostly plain terrain, the stretch in Bhutan passes through hilly areas.
