Concor, Gateway Distriparks track gains as freight shifts to rail segment

The roll-out of the dedicated freight corridor should boost volumes for container train operators

The commissioning of the dedicated freight corridor (DFC) is expected to help the rail segment improve volumes, enable market share gains, and increase the revenue and profitability of container train operators. The key gainers from the shift to rail from the road segment in the listed space are expected to be Container Corporation (Concor) and Gateway Distriparks (GDL).

The entire DFC project covering 2,843 km is divided into the eastern and the western corridors, with the former running from Ludhiana to Kolkata via the National Capital Region (NCR), and the latter connecting JNPT and Gujarat Ports to Tughlakabad and Dadri in
