 WHAT IS
DEDICATED
FREIGHT
CORRIDOR
 The transportation of freight or goods through high

  Mission
 As the dedicated agency to make the vision into
reality, DFCCIL's mission is:
 To build a corridor with appropriate technology that
enables Indian railways to regain its market share of
DEDICATED freight transport by creating additional capacity and
guaranteeing efficient, reliable, safe and cheaper
FREIGHT CORRIDOR options for mobility to its customers.
CORPORATION OF
 To set up Multimodal logistic parks along the DFC to
INDIA provide complete transport solution to customers.
 To support the government's initiatives toward
ecological sustainability by encouraging users to
adopt railways as the most environment friendly
mode for their transport requirements.
 The Indian Railways' quadrilateral linking the four
metropolitan cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and
Howrah, commonly known as the Golden Quadrilateral;
and its two diagonals (Delhi-Chennai and Mumbai-Howrah),
adding up to a total route length of 10,122 km comprising
of 16% of the route carried more than 52% of the
passenger traffic and 58% of revenue earning freight traffic
of IR. The existing trunk routes of Howrah-Delhi on the
Eastern Corridor and Mumbai-Delhi on the Western
Corridor were highly saturated not only this, the National
NEED FOR highways along these corridors comprising 0.5% of the
road network carried almost 40% of the road freight.
DCG The surging power needs requiring heavy coal movement,
booming infrastructure construction and growing
international trade led to the conception of the Dedicated
Freight Corridors along the Eastern and Western Routes, to
begin with.

Green Initiative: DFCCIL will decongest already

saturated road network & promote shifting of freight
transport to more efficient rail transport. This shift is
expected to offer significant reduction of Green House Gas
 The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor with a route
length of 1856 km consists of two distinct segments: an
electrified double-track segment of 1409 km between
Dankuni in West Bengal & Khurja in Uttar Pradesh & an
electrified single-track segment of 447 km between
Ludhiana (Dhandarikalan) - Khurja - Dadri in the state of
Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Due to non -
availability of space along the existing corridor
particularly near important city centers and industrial
INTRODUCTI townships, the alignment of the corridor takes a detour to
bypass densely populated towns such as Mughalsarai,

ON TO EDFC Allahabad, Kanpur, Etawah, Ferozabad, Tundla, Barhan,

Hathras, Aligarh, Hapur, Meerut, Saharanpur, Ambala,
Rajpura, Sirhind, Doraha and Sanehwal. Since the origin
and destinations of traffic do not necessarily fall on the
DFC, a number of junction arrangements have been
planned to transfer traffic from the existing Indian Railway
Corridor to the DFC and vice versa. These include
Dankuni, Andal, Gomoh, Sonnagar, Ganjkhwaja,
Mughalsarai, Jeonathpur, Naini/Cheoki, Prempur, Bhaupur,
Tundla, Daudkhan, Khurja, Kalanaur, Rajpura, Sirhind and
Dhandarikalan. The Eastern Corridor will traverse through
 Eastern Corridor is projected to cater to a number
of traffic streams-coal for the power plants in the
northern region of U.P., Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and
parts of Rajasthan from the Eastern coal fields,
finished steel, food grains, cement, fertilizers, lime
stone from Rajasthan to steel plants in the east
and general goods. The total traffic in UP direction
is projected to go up to 116 million tonnes in

CONTINUED. 2021-22. Similarly, in the Down direction, the

traffic level has been projected to increase to 28

. million tons in 2021-22. As a result, the

incremental traffic since 2005-2006, works out to
a whopping 92 million tons. A significant part of
this increase would get diverted to the Dedicated
Freight Corridor. The following table depicts the
distance traversed through each state
 The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor covers a distance of
1504 km of double line electric (2 X 25 KV) track from JNPT to
Dadri via Vadodara-Ahmedabad-Palanpur-Phulera-Rewari.
Alignment has been generally kept parallel to existing lines
except provision of detour at Diva, Surat, Ankleshwar,
Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad, Palanpur, Phulera
and Rewari. The Western Corridor passes through 5 states as
follows:-
However, it is entirely on a
new alignment from Rewari
to Dadri. The Western DFC
INTRODUCTI is proposed to join Eastern
Corridor at Dadri. Junction
ON WDFC Stations between the
existing railway system and
the Western DFC have been
provided at Vasai Road,
Kosad/Gothangam,
Makarpura (Vadodara),
Amli Road (Sabarmati),
Palanpur, Marwar Jn.,
Phulera, Rewari and
Pirthala Road.
