The National Highways Authority of India and Konkan Railway have signed an MoU to improve coordination between road and rail infrastructure projects.

The agreement addresses long-standing execution challenges where highways and railway corridors overlap.

Officials said joint planning will help avoid duplication, reduce land acquisition delays, and control project costs.
The move is particularly relevant for high-traffic and environmentally sensitive regions along the western corridor.

It signals a gradual shift towards genuinely integrated, multimodal infrastructure development.
