PREFACE
Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Ltd. (DFCCIL) has been
given a mandate to construct, maintain and operate Dedicated Rail Freight
Corridors across the country. To begin with, the Government of India has
entrusted DFCCIL with construction, maintenance and operation of
Eastern Corridor between Sanehwal near Ludhiana to Dankuni in West
Bengal and Western Corridor connecting Dadri in Uttar Pradesh to
Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) in Mumbai.
The Corporate Plan, akin to the construction of DFCs, is a “work-in-
progress”. It includes the business plan, which itself is in dynamic state and
therefore, subject to constant updation and modification, as DFCCIL
undertakes the challenge of building one of the largest rail transport
infrastructure initiatives post-independence. While the role and scope of
DFCCIL is clear. The rules of engagement between Ministry of Railways
and DFCCIL are detailed in the concession agreement.
The Corporate Plan is an effort to pin point our sense of direction so that
there is organizational alignment and focus and clarity about the job at
hand.

INTRODUCTION

Indian Railway is a life line of Indian economy, traversing length and breadth of country
with total route length of approx. 66680 Kms.
The Indian Railways carried a whopping 1108.79 million tonnes in 2016-17. What Indian
Railways achieved from 1950-51 to 2000-01 from 73.2 million tonnes to 473.5 million
tonnes, a net increase of 400 million tonnes. Greater achievement was accomplished in
next 17 years from 2000-01 to 2016-2017 from 473.5 million tonnes to 1108.79 million
tonnes, an increase of 635.29 million tonnes. Going forward, Railways has an ambitious
plan of achieving the freight volumes to the tune of 2165 million tonnes by 2020. This is
achievable as given elasticity of the rail transport demand with GDP growth rates being
in the vicinity of 1.1 to 1.2.
However, there are serious challenges and constraints. Many of the key arteries and
routes of Indian Railways, particularly those on the Golden Quadrilateral are now
bursting at their seams and operating far in excess of their capacity. Today the Indian
Railways have mixed corridor where both Mail/Express/Passenger trains share the same
track with the freight trains and although, it is the freight traffic which is the bread and
butter, the Mail/Express/Passenger trains invariably takes precedence over the freight
trains. As a result, the average speed of freight trains is relatively low. The average speed
of the freight trains on Indian Railways is approx. 23.8 Kmph, and this has an adverse
impact on Indian Railway’s performance and competitiveness. It is a fact that freight
tariff on the Indian Railway is also one of the highest in the world. This translates into
higher supply chain costs which in turn results in loss of competitiveness of Railway in
the market. Therefore, it is imperative to augment rail capacity so that increased demand
for freight transport with growth in economy is met. Indian Railways considered
following three options:
Augment the existing network by laying quadrupled lines
Create a separate Dedicated Passenger Corridor
