India’s first dedicated freight corridor opened in 2020 between New Khurja and New Bhaupur, boosting cargo speed and efficiency.
🚆 SpotGenie Fact - India’s First Dedicated Freight Corridor
India’s railways have always been the backbone of freight movement. But in December 2020, history was made with the opening of India’s first dedicated freight corridor (DFC).
The inaugural stretch - 351 km between New Khurja and New Bhaupur (Kanpur) - became operational on the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor.
📦 Why It Matters
- Faster Cargo Trains: Up to 100 km/h speed, nearly double traditional freight trains.
- Decongestion: Frees up passenger lines by shifting cargo trains to dedicated tracks.
- Efficiency: Can carry double the load, with energy-efficient locomotives.
- Future Vision: Both Eastern (1,856 km) and Western (1,504 km) DFCs will redefine logistics in India.
