142 INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2013-14 DEDICATED FREIGHT CORRIDOR CORPORATION OF INDIA LIMITED (DFCCIL)

Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) is the most ambitions rail infrastructure project ever undertaken by Government of India. The DFC project is being implemented through Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL), a special purpose Vehicle created for the purpose. DFCCIL is a wholly owned Public Sector Undertaking of the Ministry of Railways incorporated under Companies Act 1956 on 30th October 2006. The Company has been mandated to undertake Planning, construction, maintenance and operation of Dedicated Freight lines. To start with, Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs) are being developed on Western and Eastern trunk routes. The Western DFC (1,502 Kms) is from Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) in Mumbai to Dadri near Delhi and would cater largely to the container and imported coal transport requirements between the existing and emerging ports in Maharashtra and Gujarat and the northern hinterland. The Eastern DFC is from Ludhiana in Punjab to Dankuni (1,840 Kms) near Kolkata and will largely serve coal and steel traffic. The two corridors will join near Dadri. The financing of the corridors is being done through Equity from Ministry of Railways and multilateral funding (debt) from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and World Bank. Western DFC is being funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and part of Eastern DFC (Mughalsarai-Allahabad-Kanpur-Khurja-Dadri and Khurja- Ludhiana) is being funded by World Bank. Dankuni-Sonnagar section of Eastern DFC will be implemented through PPP. The Eastern and Western DFCs pass through 9 states, 66 districts and over 1,900 villages. The implementation of the DFC is expected to generate two major impacts on the freight movement- shift of freight from road thereby leading to increase in rail co-efficient and improvement in energy efficiency of freight rail through adoption of improved technologies leading to significant reduction in carbon footprints. The DFC with higher axle load and wider Maximum Moving Dimension (MMD) will be a game changer in transport logistics. Speedier, scheduled services are expected to bring down logistic cost significantly. The network is expected to provide long awaited total logistical solution to trade, utilizing energy efficient rail transportation.

INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2013-14 143 These freight corridors offer immense opportunities for development of an Industrial corridor along the alignment of the connecting infrastructure. This has resulted in setting up of Delhi- Mumbai Industrial Corridor. A band of 150 Km. (Influence region) has been chosen on both sides of the freight corridor to be developed as Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. Western Dedicated freight corridor will be capable to run Blanketing work in progress at Tundla Double Stack container train which is its USP and DFC would be the pioneer in operation of double stack containers on electrified routes. The DFC lines are capable to run heavy haul trains with axle load of 25 tons as compared to existing 22.9 tons. The average speed of trains will also increase up to 65-70 Kmph with maximum speed of 100 Kmph instead of existing 25 Kmph. The DFC line will cater to long haul trains carrying load of 12,000 tons with a train length up to 1,500 metre. For the first time on Indian Railway, DFC will use GPS based radio Communication system for operation of trains. The signalling system will be state of the art using automatic signalling system. DFCC is designed to be a very lean organization with higher efficiency and cost effectiveness. As a result, the operation and maintenance cost is expected to be substantially low as compared to present Railway system. The DFCC project is likely to be a key driver of Indian Economy and a game changer project. It will reduce the transit time to about one third and will bring new state of the art terminals for improved customer service. The target for completion of major section of Eastern and Western Corridor is by the year 2019. The preliminary engineering and Traffic survey for other 4 corridors has begun and is likely to be completed within one year. DFCCIL has been able to successfully meet the major challenge of land acquisition for the project on behalf of Indian Railways. Till 31st March 2014, a total award for 9,603 hectares of land (WDFC: 5500 ha out of 6148 ha and EDFC: 4103 ha out of 5515 ha) has been issued. The year 2013-14 witnessed many major breakthrough as DFFCIL has awarded second major civil work contract and first on Western DFC worth `6,700 crore for construction of 625 Km. long Railway line from Rewari to Iqbalgarh of phase-I.
