In June 2024, India completed its full Dedicated Freight Corridor network, with PM Modi inaugurating the final ~326 km, ₹20,700 crore segment. The Western DFC (Rewari–JNPT, with connections serving Gujarat ports) gives Dholera’s industrial zone an electrified freight backbone linking toward Mundra/Pipavav and the DMIC axis.
Why it matters to Dholera: freight competitiveness is a quiet but decisive industrial input — raw materials in, finished goods out, on schedule. The completed DFC put that infrastructure in place for the fab era.
What came next: the network hit 927 train interchanges on a single day by September 2026 — demand catching up to capacity.
