Kerala to give more equity for Konkan rail expansion

It has also agreed to the proposal to increase the present authorised share capital of the Konkan Railway Corporation (KRC) from Rs.4,885.98 crore to Rs.8,485.98 crore.

The Rs. 216-crore sanctioned by the Cabinet recently represents the State’s share of the additional equity infusion of Rs.3,600 crore for increasing the authorised capital.
