It is indeed surprising to me that the mother of all Infra projects in India doesn't have a thread of its own. I decided to take the initiative to launch the thread inorder to track the development of DMI Corridor. I understand that most of the posters here are far more knowledgeable than me & if senior posters feels that it is pre-mature to launch the thread then I request the MODS to kindly delete it or freeze it to revive at some later date. Otherwise, please contribute whole-heartedly.
