An agreement was signed between the government of India and JICA for providing soft loan to the tune of Rs 11,400 crore.
Of the total amount, 13,6119 million yen (Rs 7,860 crore) has been allocated for dedicated freight corridor project and construction of dedicated freight rail between Delhi and Mumbai, which is the base for setting up of DMIC.
