The locomotive, crew and track slot cost broadly the same whether you carry one layer of containers or two. So the second layer adds a lot of cargo without proportionally adding cost. DFCCIL’s pricing reflects this: the first tier is priced like a normal single-stack movement, while the second is roughly half-price. That brings the cost per container down by around 40–45%.

In simple terms: one train path can move roughly 180 containers instead of 90 without needing another locomotive, crew or path.

The DFC network is only a small fraction of Indian Railways' route length, yet it already carries a disproportionately large share of freight.
Also, think of all those trucks and diesel consumption this train will be taking off Indian roads.

We are the first to do this.
India is running double-stack container trains under electric overhead wires — something no nation has done. They have always used diesel trains for double-stack.

Two containers stacked on top of each other need much greater electrical clearance. That meant redesigning the overhead electrification system and raising the pantograph/clearance envelope. We solved it and have implemented it.

So this isn't simply "put more containers on a train."
It is a different railway architecture: dedicated freight tracks + electrification + double stacking + longer trains.
And we are the first one to do this.

More containers per train.
Lower cost per container.
Faster freight movement.
Less road congestion.
Lower diesel consumption per tonne-km.

It's the infrastructure given by the Modi govt which is changing the economics of how freight moves across the country.

@trainwalebhaiya The Camera Angle makes this even better! It’s so steady and is at the same speed, not to forget the angle taken from

@trainwalebhaiya @macroschema Atleast the MAHSR is in U/C stage if not operational, not swamped by lawsuits, politics and protests unlike CAHSR & HS2, built in "1st World Countries" and in the same country (UK) where the train was born.

@stats_feed This rating has been made on the basis of other features such as cost, reliability and frequency because Abu Dhabi seems to be ranked much higher than cities such as Seoul and London despite it not having a single KM of railway of any type (Metro, Tram, Suburban…)

A post after a long time!

Arnav Writes is back with a fresh article that brings spotlight to a topic most individuals have no idea about. (Hint: It happened in 1973)

@TheKanpurIndex The problem is that they give time estimates (I.e Republic Day), but we are not sure whether it actually opens by then or not.

I used to hear that Vande Sleeper will launch by this Diwali on the Delhi Patna route but now nobody is mentioning this except for the trains interiors.

@ArenaJet Don't give up, how will Indian aviation be vibrant without your news?

[Arnav Mishra @amxofficial_]

@ArenaJet @timesofaviation Is it moving operations from DEL or totally new service?

@ArenaJet Sounds as if Indigo is going to be busier than Indian railways, but good for the company and passengers

[Arnav Mishra @amxofficial_]

@DetoxTravellerr Can we expect an inauguration before 31st Dec 2024? Considering that one of those pictures shows 100% completion?

@marinebharat California HSR is already far behind

The question remains: Can LA-LV HSR prove to not fall for the same fate as California HSR and win the market?

@sssaaagar Is this NH66?

[Arnav Mishra @amxofficial_]

@gemsofbabus_ Still, MAHSR is not as bad as HS2 in UK or California HSR in US

[Arnav Mishra @amxofficial_]

@gemsofbabus_ @RailMinIndia Agree, but they are back answering because it is clear these tweets are being posted just before the election time

Or else before they used to simply take details and assess the situation, sometimes even actually fixing the issue like anything broken or overcrowding

@jmadhavadas @RailwayNorthern Is it popular, convenient, reliable, and cost friendly, or does this operate for namesake?
