Currently, it takes about 3-4 days for goods to reach from Mumbai to Delhi........
.....because cargo trains have to use the same tracks as the commercial train
So what is the government of India doing about this problem?
They are building a dedicated freight corridor in India
1
So the DFC will be a track dedicated only for cargo trains
2
Once the project is completed, it will be surrounded by massive industrial hub.
The dedicated freight corridor will be parallel to the current railway tracks and there won't be any signals. Not only the time but the cost will dramatically reduce.
