The Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL) has initiated a feasibility study for doubling around 400 km of tracks between Sahnewal in Punjab and New Khurja in Uttar Pradesh under the Ambala unit of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC). With the section nearing full capacity during peak operational months, railway officials say doubling the single-line segment is essential to make the corridor future-ready.
