Western and Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridors, India

 Construction of the first two Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFC), the 1856km Eastern DFC and the 1504km Western DFC, will be nearing completion this year. It is hoped that 990km of track will become operational in the first half of 2020, with full commissioning scheduled in 2021. The two DFC projects were approved by the government in 2006 and have seen slow progress with many deadlines missed. The maximum speed on the lines will be 100km/h, a large increase from the average of 30km/h on India’s rail freight network.

Projects valued - $ 11.74bn
