The Next 5 years …

Network Augmentation– Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight

Corridors (3300 km) – New Lines – 4000 km – Doubling – 7653 km– Gauge Conversion – 5500 km – Electrification – 6500 km– Upgrade speeds on existing lines – Develop High speed Passenger Corridors

Rolling Stock Addition– Wagons -1,05,000– Coaches - 24,000– Electric locomotives - 2000– Diesel locomotives – 2000– High horsepower locomotives– New locomotive factories for Diesel and

Electric – Development of High capacity wagons

Investment proposed - US$ 100 billion

The Next 5 years …

• Axle load increased progressively from 20.82T to 22.82T– 8 tonne per wagon and – 500T per train (15% increase in payload)

• 6 iron ore routes upgraded to 25T axle load. – 59 wagons train of 6000T.• 7000 km identified for upgradation to 25T by 2016-17.

• 30 long haul (1+1) trains per day being run (upto 10800T)

• Double Stack Container trains are being run from ports of Pipavav, Mundra (2x9½) to Gurgaon (Delhi).

• Periodicity of train examination increased to 35 days (Closed Circuit Rakes) and 15 days (premium) for optimum utilisation of rolling stock.

Towards Heavier and Longer Freight Trains

Planned Developmentsin Rolling Stock for Heavy Haul

• Track friendly bogies for 25/32.5T axle load wagons

• Wagons - 25T & 32.5T axle load with improved pay load to tare ratio

• High horsepower locomotives – 6000 HP (Diesel), 9000HP, 12000HP (Electric)

• Distributed Power Control System for locomotives

Dedicated Freight Corridor

Cor

ridor

(149

9 km

)Eastern Corridor (1839 km)

• 12

• Double Line Electrified (2x25kV) • Fit for Speeds upto 100 Kmph• Capable for initially 25- tonne axle load

upgradable to 32.5 tonne axle load (Bridges & formation fit for 32.5 tonne)

• Double Stack Container running on Western DFC

• 12000 ton trains on Eastern DFC• Long haul trains - 1500 metre loops • Station spacing - 40 km

Improved Technical Features of DFCs

• Ruling gradient 1 in 200 (compensated)

• High Horsepower(upto 12000 HP) locomotives

• High Capacity wagons

• Automatic Block with Multi-aspect color light Signaling

• GSMR-based communication

Improved Technical Features of DFCs

Future Dedicated Freight Corridors

• East-West (Kolkata-Mumbai)

• North-South (Delhi-Chennai)

• East Coast Corridor (Kharagpur-Vijayawada)

• Southern Corridor (Chennai-Goa)

• 15
