Dedicated freight corridors (DFCs) are railway tracks exclusively designed for the transportation of freight. Indian Railways is currently constructing two DFCs, one from Delhi to Mumbai and the other from Ludhiana to Dankuni. The benefits of DFCs for Indian Railways include faster and more efficient transportation of freight, reduction in transit time, higher carrying capacity, improved safety and reliability, and reduced congestion on the existing railway network. DFCs also enable Indian Railways to compete more effectively with road transport for freight traffic, which is important for the long-term sustainability and growth of the railway sector.
