INTRODUCTION.
Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) can be
described - network of railway lines dedicated
for the movement of freight trains
Freight means goods transported in bulk by
truck, train, ship, or aircraft
Such DFCs are separate from the passenger
railway networks to ensure uninterrupted
movement of the freight trains
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
In April 2005, the Project was discussed
-at the Japan-India Summit Meeting
Prime Ministers of India and Japan
- made a joint declaration for feasibility; and
- possible funding of the dedicated rail freight
corridors.
The feasibility study report was submitted to
Ministry of Railways in October 2007
Under the Eleventh Five Year Plan,
- Ministry of Railways is constructing a Dedicated
Freight Corridor
Covering about 3300 route km long two routes
Two
routes are
- The Eastern Corridor
- The Western Corridor
These
two corridors are interlinked at Khurja in
Uttar Pradesh
Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India
(DFCCI)
maintenance and operation of the Dedicated
Freight Corridors.

SANCTIONED DEDICATED FREIGHT
CORRIDORS
Western Dedicated Freight Corridor,
- Dadri, Uttar Pradesh to Jawaharlal Nehru
Port, Mumbai 1,468km
Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor
-Ludhiana, Punjab to Dankuni, West Bengal
1,760km
MAP OF CORRIDOR
EASTERN CORRIDOR
This corridor will cover first 447km of Ludhiana Dhari - Khurja section with single electrified track
After this the remaining line will be double track
electrified up to Dankuni in West Bengal
It is going to be a broad gauge corridor
Due to lack of space the section from Ludhiana in
Punjab to Khurja in Uttar Pradesh will be single
line electrified.
