No idea about freight corridors. Industrial facilities were to be created in Aurangabad, that has been delivered fairly good. There is proposed dry port nearby that will use the proposed super highway to connect with JNPT directly.Western DFC has been in an "almost done" state for a while now. You know the situation on the ground ?
OMG!! They moved from Thyristor to an IGBT based 3ph Motor Drive.WAG-12 is a beast
"State of the art IGBT based, 3 phase 12000 horse power electric locomotive Manufactured by Madhepura Electric Loco Pvt. Ltd Bihar, 1st time operated from Pt Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Jn is planned to run on DFC for its heavy and Long Haul operation at the speed of 100 KMPH"
The speed looks like the same as in the US. This is actually amazing and should help getting freight moved quickly from place-to-place. How long until it is actually activated? Also things still move way too slow in India!
@Shaitan your dreams have come true
Pakis are talking about CPEC but DMIC dwarf it and we give it less attentionDMIC, other IC projects, inland waterways etc are the biggest infra projects that will enable India to achieve its true economic potential. It gets very less coverage in terms of its massive scale and never seen before pace at which it is being build in India.
Yup, CPEC is basically what British did in India when they wanted to move the raw materials out of India to ports so that they can be exported while basically destroying Indian industries. Porkies are too dumb to understand this and they are already knee deep in debtPakis are talking about CPEC but DMIC dwarf it and we give it less attention
Most of the stuff not commissioned in EDFC lies in West Bengal I think due to Mamata Banerjee being obstinate (and in my opinion an evil b!t@h) so the double track pretty much basically ends at the border of West Bengal.The Ministry of Railways has shared an update related to the construction of the Dedicated Freight Corridors project in the country. Till June 2023, 77.2 per cent of the project is commissioned, the ministry informed on Wednesday.
“1,046 km commissioned on the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC), and 1,150 km commissioned on the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor ((EDFC),” said the ministry. As far as major bridges are concerned, 454 out of 543 are commissioned.
