The Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), an initiative aimed at reducing logistics costs and enhancing the efficiency of India's transport network, is now showing remarkable progress. Freight trains are currently running every 12 minutes along the 2,843 km long corridor, and by next year, this number is set to increase to 480 trains per day, demonstrating the transformative potential of the DFC.
This development aligns with the Government of India's ambitious plan to bring logistics costs down to single digits, a major step toward bolstering the nation's competitiveness in global trade. During a recent journey along the Western Corridor of the DFC, media representatives were briefed on the project's status. Chitresh Joshi, Deputy General Manager (Corporate Communication) of DFC, stated that 97 per cent of the Eastern and Western Corridors have been completed, with 350 freight trains already operating daily on the network.
