The official added that these TP schemes are specially linked to the clusters that are a part of the Delhi-Mumbai industrial freight corridor. Some of these TP schemes lie near the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). The town planning body has provisioned wide service lanes along the freight corridor for goods transportation between the designated clusters.
