Indian Army conducts rail trials on Dedicated Freight Corridor

The recently developed “Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC)” by the Indian Railways provides faster movement of freight across the country. The Indian Army on 14 June 2021, conducted a successful trial by moving a military train loaded with vehicles and equipment from New Rewari to New Phulera validating the efficacy of the DFC. The intricate and synchronised coordination by the Indian Army with Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Ltd (DFCCIL) and Indian Railways will significantly enhance the mobilisation capability of the Armed Forces. These trials were part of the “Whole of the Nation Approach” for optimising national resources and achieve seamless synergy among various ministries and departments.
