According to Container
Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR) CMD Sanjay Swaroop, this will allow 180
containers (TEU) to be transported on a single train, resulting in a quicker
and less expensive transfer of commodities.
At
the FGI Business Center, Sanjay Swaroop spoke at a symposium on supply chain
management issues and challenges for the Federation of Gujarat Industries
(FGI). By December 2025, he said, the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) between
Varnama and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) will be finished. From Varnama,
the goods will be transported by a single-stack container train on the Indian
Railway line. From JNPT to Varnama, a
single-stack container train will also arrive. A double-stack container train
will then transport the containers from Varnama to Dadri, improving supply
chain management effectiveness.
The
2,843 km of dedicated freight corridors spanning seven states would be
essential for the quick transportation of products, according to Shobhit
Bhatnagar, director of the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India
Limited (DFCCIL).
