Implementation Status and Key Decisions
Progress on EDFC-2 is very slow because of the Civil Works, Structures and Track (CST) contractor’s shortage of working capital. Both DFCCIL
and contractor have taken actions to increase cashflow in the project, which should help in the short term. The contractor needs to forecast working
capital requirements through to the end of works and ensure that works do not get stalled due to paucity of working capital.

Overall Comments IR
The status reported in the previous ISRs was on the EDFC1 section Khurja - Bhaupur as the EDFC projects
were designed as an APL. For this ISR the status reflects the actual progress on the EDFC section, this is why
the percentage is lower than the previously reported one.
