“With the operationalisation of Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) from New Dadri (in UP) to Sanand (near Ahmedabad in Gujarat), the transportation of milk tank wagons has benefitted significantly with faster speeds. Consequently, the transit time has been slashed drastically ensuring efficient and reliable movement of essential commodities,” informs DFCCIL.
“The transit time for Millennium (Milk) trains for Banas Dairy from DFC New Palanpur station/Gujarat to Palwal in Haryana (covering a distance of approximately 855 km) has been reduced to 14.49 hours from the previous 23.29 hours on the Indian railways alignment.” This has resulted in a whopping 37.23% reduction in travel time in the month of July 2023. “Now the Milk trains originate from New Palanpur (WDFC) and run on WDFC upto New Prithla in Haryana. From here, these then move on to Indian Railways alignment before terminating at Hind Terminals Multi Modal Logistics Park in Palwal,” DFCCIL said.
