The Rail Budget from a real estate and infrastructure perspective has some key announcements focusing on infrastructure such as dedicated freight corridors, including three new freight corridors and transit development, said Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & MD, CBRE South Asia.
“These initiatives, if implemented successfully, will benefit the industrial and logistics real estate segment,” he added.
Overall the Rail Budget this year is a consumer friendly one, with the Railways Minister announcing various provisions for women, children, elderly and the specially abled citizens.
