India and Russia forging ahead with cargo rail link
India and Russia are forging ahead with a planned rail link that transits through Iran...
The move will benefit exporters and importers between India and Russia by lowering transit time and cost of transportation compared to existing transportation via the Suez Canal. The new route will cut time of moving goods sharply (to 25-28 days from about 40 days) as it will avoid the present circuitous sea route through the Suez Canal, and also result in significant cost savings.
