            Design Features
            Dedicated Freight Corridors are proposed to adopt world class and state-of-the-art technology. Significant improvement is proposed to be
            made in the existing carrying capacity by modifying basic design features. The permanent way will be constructed with significantly higher
            design features that will enable it to withstand heavier loads at higher speeds. Simultaneously, in order to optimize productive use of the right
            of way, dimensions of the rolling stock is proposed to be enlarged. Both these improvements will allow longer and heavier trains to ply on the
            Dedicated Freight Corridors. 25 tn axle load wagons are expeceted to run on DFC. This will significantly increase throughput on IR.
