What does Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) mean in logistics?
Short answer
Railway lines built for freight trains only, allowing heavier, longer and faster goods trains than mixed-traffic lines.
Built by DFCCIL: the Eastern DFC runs from Punjab (near Ludhiana) to Sonnagar in Bihar, and the Western DFC from Dadri in Uttar Pradesh towards JNPT, designed for double-stack container trains. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
