He also launched the 306-km Rewari-Madar section of the Western dedicated freight corridor (DFC). Modi said that since the launch of the New Bhaupur-New Khurja section of the DFC, the average speed of freight trains has tripled in that section. One train carries 360 10-feet container equivalent units (TEU), which is equivalent to 270 high capacity trailer trucks, a rail ministry statement said. The corridor is expected to boost farming and allied businesses in Haryana and Rajasthan and impart new energy into cities like Mahendragarh, Jaipur, Ajmer and Sikar. The PM also highlighted the investment in broad gauge and electrification, which has helped increase the speed of trains. He spoke of semi-high-speed trains and modern technology for laying down the tracks, and expressed hope that every northeastern state capital will soon be connected with railways.
