PM Modi inaugurates 326 km of freight corridor, completing India's DFC network

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated 326 kilometres of new sections of India's Dedicated Freight Corridor network, marking its full completion. The project comprises two major corridors built by the Ministry of Railways. The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor spans 1,337 km between Ludhiana and Sonnagar, while the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor covers 1,506 km from Dadri to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Terminal. Together, the two corridors form a combined freight rail network of over 2,800 km across northern and western India. The completed network is expected to significantly boost cargo movement and ease congestion on India's existing passenger rail lines.
