19 Road Transport Network System

20 Key trends: Growth in passenger traffic % Share (BPKM) * Road = 86.7% Rail = 12.9% Air= 0.4% Substantial shift from rail to road Rail dominates long-haul Road dominates short-haul Road transport is the most dominant mode of transport. Almost 90% passengers moved by road in Air based passenger transport has seen a rapid growth in the last decade * Modal share in total passenger traffic as of compiled from 11 th Five Year Plan Working Group Report on Road 20 Transport and Statistical Summary Indian Railways

21 BAU passenger growth trends expected to continue in future Rapid increase in passenger transport demand expected 2010 to times increase 2010 to times increase Road sector s dominance to continue in BAU 80% 70% Source: Estimates by TERI (2009) Estimates are in the medium range as compared to many other estimates 21

33 Projected Rail Freight Traffic

34 Major Issues Capacity Constraints Investment Planning Project execution Social and Commercial Objectives Financial issues: cost, Tariff and Accounting Cost Structure Human Resources Organizational Issues Research and Development

35 Prospective developments in Freight Rail Transport Upgrading Existing Corridors Creation of Passenger Corridors Dedicated freight Corridors.

36 Potential High speed Rail Corridors

37 Dedicated Freight Corridors

38 Dedicated Freight corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL) Headquarters : New Delhi Special Purpose Vehicle A Govt. of India Enterprise (under Ministry of Railways) Date of Establishment: October 2006 Construction and operations of DFCs

39 Need for DFCs Existing trunk routes of Howrah-Delhi on the Eastern Corridor and Mumbai-Delhi on the Western Corridor are highly saturated. Truck routes line capacity utilization varying between 115% to 150%

40 Key Issues Falling market share (90% to 30%) Capacity constraints on high density network Differential speeds of trains Inadequate Ports / IAs connectivity Inability to carry longer/heavier trains Lower throughput / longer turn-around

41 Objectives of the Project

42 Features of DFC Large capacity expansions in cement and steel sectors. Increase in rail share in port-based container traffic by 35-40% due to advantages of DFC; Leveraging the benefits of DFC to induce modal shift in container traffic from road to rail; Market share increase in container traffic by setting up of MultiModal Logistics Parks (MMLPs) and improving functional efficiency at ports and inland terminals; Creation of new markets, especially growth in domestic container movement, automobile traffic and roll-on-roll-off (Ro-Ro) traffic.
