Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the 306-km-long
Madar-Rewari section of Western Dedicated Freight Corridor recently. The
New Rewari-New Madar section of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor
is located in the States of Haryana (nearly 79
km) and Rajasthan (nearly 227 km). On December 29, 2020, Mr Modi had
dedicated the 351-km-long New Bhaupur-New Khurja section of the Eastern
Dedicated Freight Corridor. With the inauguration of the New Rewari-New
Madar section, seamless connectivity between
Western Dedicated Freight Corridor and Eastern Dedicated Freight
Corridor will be achieved. Besides, freight trains will be operated at
maximum speed of 100 kmph as against the current maximum speed of 75
kmph, and average speed of freight trains will also
be increased from existing 26 kmph to 70 kmph on the dedicated freight
corridors.
