Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy ( SCORE)1


The Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE), is one of the five
regional development corridors being developed throughout Malaysia.
SCORE will develop the Central Region and transform Sarawak into a
developed State by the year 2020 and beyond. It aims to achieve the goals
of accelerating the States economic growth and development, as well as
improving the quality of life for the people of Sarawak.
The 2008 2030 development plan for SCORE focuses on developing the
energy sector and targets 10 high impact priority industries that will
complement the development plan and also provide downstream
opportunities for SMEs. As SCORE grows, the benefits will impact the whole
State and give citizens in the rural areas the opportunity to participate in the
States primary goal to become a high income state on a par with the
wealthier states in Peninsular Malaysia by 2020.
NanningSingapore Economic Corridor2
The Nanning-Singapore Economic Corridor, the cross-border economic
channel between China and the ASEAN, starts at Nanning and encompasses
Hanoi in Vietnam, Vientiane in Laos, Phnom Penh in Cambodia, Bangkok in
Thailand, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, and Singapore. The Corridor is planned
to better connect neighbouring economies, encourage development across

and will become a new economic growth engine for the ASEANChina Free
Trade Area.
"One of our main tasks during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) is to
accelerate the construction of a high-speed railway from Nanning to ASEAN
countries such as Singapore to establish an international passage, bolstering
Guangxi's foreign trade," Ma Biao, chairman of the regional government,
said.
EastWest Economic Corridor (EWC)3
The EastWest Economic corridor is an economic development program
initiated in order to promote development and integration of four Southeast
Asian countries, namely: Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. The concept
was agreed upon in 1998 at the Ministerial Conference of the Greater
Mekong Subregion, organized in Manila, the Philippines. This corridor became
operational on December 12, 2006.
The East-West Corridor (EWC) is not considered an important corridor from a
trade logistics perspective, except at the western end linking Thailand with
Myanmar. Current trade has been restricted by sanctions and difficult
economic conditions in Myanmar , and by complex logistics involving the
significant use of non-transparent approaches. The damage to the bridge
between Mae Sot and Myawaddy resulted in the imposition of a 12-ton
weight limit, thus excluding heavy transport crossing. Most traffic passes
through the 25 river ports and/or quays and is reloaded onto local transport
for distribution within Myanmar.
Mumbai-Bangalore economic corridor
The Mumbai-Bangalore economic corridor is spread across Karnataka and
Maharashtra and passes through major cities such as Chitradurga, HubballiDharwad, Belagavi, Solapur, Sangli, Pune and Mumbai. The main purpose of
this corridor is to link small industrial area to the major cities.

The proposed Eastern Economic corridor of India would originate from


Paradip port in Odisha province, pass through Jharkhand province can
possible have an auxiliary loop through Chhattisgarh Province and would
terminate at Integarted Check Post(ICP), Raxaul in Bihar province on the
India-Nepal border. This corridor would also link up with North South Fast
Track Corridor of Nepal

This project will touch upon life of over 300 million people in states like Bihar,
Eastern UP, Nepal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and to a lesser extent the
people in Eastern MP, North Eastern Region and even Tibet in future. This will
open up the entire region to the world.
This Project will effectively have over 75% of Indias major mineral resources
in its feeder zone including almost 84% of India's Coal reserve and over 93%
of India's iron ore reserve. Proposed corridor will help in efficient movement
of these minerals.
Most of the metal producing centers and many of the thermal power plants,
cement plants will be effectively supported by the infrastructure created in
the corridor and will expand faster.
this corridor would be a potential trade route between China and India
through Nepal

BangladeshChinaIndiaMyanmar5
The BangladeshChinaIndiaMyanmar (BCIM) Economic Corridor will
increase socioeconomic development and trade in South Asia. The initiative
seeks to improve connectivity and infrastructure, energy resources,
agriculture, and trade and investment. It will connect Indias Northeast,
Bangladesh, Myanmar, and the Chinese province of Yunnan through a
network of roads, railways, waterways, and airways under a proper
regulatory framework
East-West Industrial Corridor Highway, Arunachal Pradesh6
The $6.5bn (4.06bn), 1,800km (1,118 miles) all-weather road will stretch
from Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh state to where the borders of India and
China meet with Myanmar. The road will connect sparsely populated and
poorly-connected hill communities living in four large frontier districts of
Arunachal Pradesh. It will also help farmers in the mountainous region to

transport their organic crops and medicinal herbs to low-lying and busy
markets in neighboring Assam state.
"This road will not boost our defenses but help connect far flung communities
for economic development denied to them for so long," says India's junior
home minister Khiren Rijiju, himself a resident of Arunachal Pradesh.
