India Completes Dedicated Freight Corridor Network to Enhance Logistics Efficiency
India's Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) network, comprising the Eastern and Western corridors spanning 2,843 km, has been completed and is operational. Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor connects Uttar Pradesh to Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Maharashtra, reducing logistics costs and transit times. The corridors enable double-stack container trains, increasing freight capacity and efficiency while lowering pollution. This infrastructure aims to enhance India's competitiveness in global supply chains and transform the freight transportation landscape.
