Once I did "C-h i", a call to "info-initialize" is made and that
initialized the variable. It had the build location first.
("e:/cache/build/emacs/info/" "e:/GNU/emacs/info/")

I have a doubt: If the DIR file have unique entries, how does it show
duplicate entries on "C-h i"?
Does the info subsystem use the entries in DIR file and find all info
files corresponding to a menu item in the info path and display all
occurrences, that could explain the issue I am facing.
To reaffirm, the DIR file is not corrupted, apologies for misleading.
