Why IR consider RORO from JNPT to Boisar only?,
Why not carrying trucks to as far destination as possible so that the time lost in the formalities of loading & unloading is more than made up during the long journey on rails.
.
Longer distance RORO are much more viable than short distance one with a narrow objective of just byepassing Mumbai...
more... city roads.
Financial as well as time saving by road operator and additional revenue earned by IR and good environmental impact are other benefits. Containers from port should be carried to as far a destination, as possible by rails so that the RORO scheme is beneficial to all i.e. IR, truck operator, the nation.
