On the tracks of progress


Logistic management is going through a sea-change with Indias largest and the first-of-its-kind project
in the rail sector to augment the rail infrastructure to increase share in rail freight market by offering
customers, a guaranteed, faster transit at economic tariff. Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of
India Limited (DFCCIL) - a Special Purpose Vehicle set-up under the administrative control of Ministry of
Railways is undertaking planning and development, mobilization of financial resources and construction,
maintenance and operation of Dedicated Freight Corridors connecting different states of the country.
In the first phase, DFCCIL will be constructing two corridors - the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor
(WDFC) and Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC) - spanning a total length of about 3322 route
km. The DFC project on the Western and Eastern routes is one of the most ambitious projects that Indian
Railways has ever taken up and once completed, would meet the transport requirements of the two busy
trunk routes for the next 15 to 20 years.
The WDFC (1483 km) will be from Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) in Mumbai to Tughlakabad and Dadri near
New Delhi and would cater largely to the container transport requirements between the existing and
emerging ports in Maharashtra and Gujarat and passes through the states of Haryana and Rajasthan.

Winning Collaboration
Sojitz - L&T Consortium (WDFC : Rewari - Iqbalgarh Section)
A part of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor has
been secured by a consortium of Sojitz Corp., Japan and
Larsen and Toubro Limited, India.
Sojitz Corporation, a general trading company conducts
its operations in about 50 countries through 505
consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies
all over the world. Sojitz business activities are wideranging encompassing machinery, aerospace, energy
and mineral resources, chemicals and plastics, etc.
L&T,
Indias
largest
engineering,
technology,
construction and manufacturing organization has
established itself as a unique service provider delivering

turnkey solutions for all types of railway projects.


The Railway Strategic Business Group of L&T has
taken the lead in rail construction by introducing
pioneering techniques, resulting in execution of
projects with innovation, quality and speed.
The combination of the distinct strengths of these
two companies will help create one of the finest rail
infrastructures in the country. The EPC order involves
construction of 626 km of a double track corridor
from Rewari in Haryana to Iqbalgarh in Gujarat, via
Rajasthan, spanning three states. This is the countrys
largest project awarded so far in the rail sector and the
first-of-its-kind in India.

Design - The fountainhead of


innovation
Dedicated Freight Corridors are proposed to adopt
world-class and state-of-the-art technology. Significant
improvements are being incorporated in the existing
carrying capacity by modifying basic design features. The
permanent way will be constructed with significantly
higher design features that will enable it to withstand
heavier loads at higher speeds.

sleepers and offer strong and supreme quality of rail


infrastructure dedicated for freight.
Since the project involves significant major bridges,
various parameters have been taken into consideration
for design of special launching and erection techniques.

Simultaneously, in order to optimise productive use


of the right of way, dimension of the rolling stock is
proposed to be enlarged. Both these improvements will
allow longer and heavier trains to ply on the Dedicated
Freight Corridors. The track will be designed for 25 t axle
load to run double stack containers dedicated for freight
and 32.5 t axle load for bridges and embankments.
The Sojitz - L&T consortium will offer its expertise and
extend its experience right from inception reports to
technical design, alignment design and track design
apart from validation of survey data, right of way and
final location survey.
With the geo-technical engineering expertise gained
over the years, the consortium will monitor and control
earthworks right from sub-soil, subgrade to ballast and

Project Management - Charting the way


to quality and speed
The Sojitz - L&T Consortium envisions using the latest technology in rail construction. Key components sourced
through specialist international vendors / subcontractors include:
Head Hardened Rails from Japan
Complete Engineering Procurement and Construction by Sojitz - L&T Consortium
New Track Construction Machine from Harsco Rail, USA
Locomotives from India
Permanent way components from approved RDSO (Indian) Agencies
A comprehensive strategy for speedy construction has been evolved considering every facet of project management.
Key establishments envisaged for design, construction and commissioning include setting-up of design office in New
Delhi, Project office in Jaipur, Strategic section offices in Ajmer, Shri Madhopur and Marwar, Offices at 10 stations,
18 Labour camps at Base depots, Casting yard and Stations.

Construction Methodology
Smarter ideas, faster implementation
The DFC project will introduce numerous world-class
technologies right from planning, design, construction
to the operation of the line.
The laying of sleepers and tracks will be done using
state-of-the-art mechanised track laying equipment.
Specialised group of track machines will be deployed to
carry out ballast tamping, ballast regulating and track
stabilisation. Even the field joints will be brought to
bare minimum due to the deployment of high capacity,
robotic mobile flash butt welding machines.

Advantages of mechanized track linking

Multiple Benefits for the


Nation, Trade & Commerce and
to the people of India
T
 he Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) will contribute to Indias economic
development by freight transportation which is expected to undergo rapid
growth in the future.
T
 his project enables a segregated electrified line for freight, parallel to the
existing railway line. This indirectly allows the passenger trains to move faster
in the existing lines.
T
 his line will allow double-stack with a height of 7.1 m through wider tracks of
3.6 m that allow longer train lengths of 1500 m that can travel at a faster rate
of 100 kmph. For the industry this means, reduced unit cost of transportation
as DFC provides rail infrastructure to carry higher throughput per train.
T
 he route will also have lesser stations that fall only once every 30 - 40 km. The
entire corridor is expected to offer more axle load and an increased overall
freight train load by 3.5 times the current capacity. Again for the industry, this
means a guaranteed, faster transit at an economic tariff.
A
 part from improving the overall transport efficiency of the national network,
DFC will help accelerate the nation-wide economic development as well as
improve the environment. Transportation of goods through DFC will consume
less energy when compared to truck mode and the gas emission is completely
avoided along the DFC alignment.
W
 ith the increase of trade and industrial development along the DFC, there
will be an increase in employment opportunities of the region.
D
 FC will also improve and expand the market for agricultural produce, forestry
and fisheries of the regions as the speedy and improved transportation mode
will help shrink distances connecting the supply and demand points.
