As the India-Russia Summit takes place, a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) has been signed between the Ministry of Railways and Russian Railways, reported Economic Times. It has been signed in order to proceed with the activities that were earlier planned as part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two countries in December 2015.

The MoU speaks of a fast-track upgrade of projects in the Nagpur-Secunderabad section. Establishment of a single traffic control centre to manage mixed traffic at the local level, better practices in freight cargo operations, exchange of technologies and development of multi-modal terminals are the other things mentioned in the MoU.


Ministry of Railways (India) and Ministry of Transport (Russia) signed an MoU for development and cooperation in transport education. The objective is to provide organisational support to higher educational institutes that implement joint projects in the field of transport education.

This envisions jointly organised seminars between India’s National Rail Transportation Institute of Vadodra and Russia’s University of Transport.
