Dedicated Freight Corridors

How did Dedicated Freight Corridors Come into the Picture?

The current standing of Indian Logistics is at the tipping point. Currently, Indian logistics consumes around 14% of the GDP which is one of the highest in the world. It is nowhere close to that of developed countries such as the USA, Germany and Japan which is around 8-10% of their GDP.

Strengthening rail logistics is crucial for reducing the high costs associated with logistics, as it is cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and more reliable. To accelerate the manufacturing and export sector, addressing the issue of high logistics costs by improving rail freight appears to be the most viable solution.

That’s how DFC saw the light of day!
