New Delhi, Jan 7 : The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor, which has just been completed, and the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor, which is nearing completion, are potential gamechangers for the country’s economy.

The corridors are expected to enable the Indian Railways to speed up the movement of long-distance goods traffic and decongest the railway tracks for passenger movement.

At the same time the two corridors will decongest the highways on the busy Delhi-Howrah and Delhi-Mumbai routes as more goods traffic moves from road to rail.
