Railways Sets New Record in Freight Movement

• Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) network achieved a single-day record of 892 interchange trains with Indian Railways, signalling maturing capacity of India's dedicated cargo rail spine.
• Run by DFCCIL (a PSU under the Ministry of Railways), DFCs separate freight from passenger traffic to cut transit time and logistics cost.
• Examinable as an Infrastructure + Logistics story under GS-III, intersecting with PM Gati Shakti, National Logistics Policy and the target of cutting logistics cost to single digits of GDP.
