Indian Railways (IR) has approved the final location survey (FLS) to construct a 111 km broad-gauge railway line from Imphal in India to Moreh, located on the India–Myanmar border, under an initiative to improve international rail connections in South Asia.
The project had been on hold after an earlier survey conducted by Rail India Technical and Economic Services (RITES) concluded that the project was not financially viable. The line, a critical component of the proposed Trans-Asian Rail Network, will provide rail connectivity from India to Myanmar and Thailand and eventually to China.
