Here, we will be talking about Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC)- a medium to revolutionize Indian Railways in increasing the efficiency of transportation of goods.
\nIndia is in its route of making Eastern and Western Freight Corridors with a cost estimate of Rs 81,495 Crore. The western corridor is funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency with Rs 38,000 Crore. The eastern corridor is funded by the world bank.<\/p>\n

\nNeed for the Corridors
\nCurrently, the same railway line is used for Passenger traveling as well as for transporting the goods. This creates chocking in the railway lines. The Golden Quadrilateral cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Howrah) along with their diagonals (Delhi-Chennai and Mumbai-Howrah) accounting for 58% freight traffic and 50% of passenger traveling will also be relieved now.
\nThe Impact of these freight corridors on Indian Economy can be further analyzed because he will surely be a game changer for the Indian railways. You can join the best IAS coaching in Chandigarh<\/strong><\/a> for learning the analytical skills.<\/p>\n
