K-Rail holds talks with KSEB on supply requirements
Amid uncertainty persisting over external funding, the Kerala Government appears to be moving ahead with the infrastructure needs for the approximately ₹63,941-crore SilverLine semi-high-speed rail project.
On Saturday, Kerala Rail Development Corporation Limited (K-Rail) held talks with the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) for sourcing electricity for operating the trains. The Revenue Department also issued a modified order for acquiring 1,221 ha in 11 districts.
After discussions between V. Ajith Kumar, Managing Director, K-Rail, and KSEB Chairman and Managing Director B. Ashok and senior transmission wing officials, the KSEB said a detailed project report on the power requirements for the project would be prepared in three months.
