Vadodara witnessed the inauguration of the final three sections of India's Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday. This marks the completion of India's freight rail network, connecting the eastern, northern, and western regions. The PM criticized previous governments, stating the project had been stagnant in files since 2004.
The WDFC, spanning 326 kilometers and built at a cost exceeding Rs 20,700 crore, is set to revolutionize freight travel, reduce costs, and lower fuel consumption. With over 400 freight trains now running daily on the Eastern and Western corridors, the number is expected to reach 430 trains a day. Modi will also lay the foundation stone for three additional railway projects in the region.
