India Completes Dedicated Freight Corridors to Boost Logistics and Employment
India has completed a 2,843-km Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) network, including the Western DFC connecting Dadri to JNPT and the Eastern DFC from Ludhiana to Sonnagar. These corridors aim to enhance freight efficiency by enabling longer, heavier trains and reducing transit times. The PM GatiShakti project supports this infrastructure development, expected to boost job creation and regional growth. Experts highlight potential savings of Rs 7 lakh crore annually and the creation of nearly 1 crore jobs through improved logistics and multimodal connectivity.
