** After completion of DFCs the parallel corridors shall become dedicated passenger corridors (DPCs)
- freight trains may have operational/avg speed of 100-110/70-75kmph (against traditional 60-80)/25kmph) on DFCs.
- Express/SF trains may have operational/avg speed of 130/65-85kmph (against traditional 110/45-65kmph) on DPCs
- Premium all ac trains may have operational/avg speed of 160/80-110 kmph (against traditional 110-130/65-85kmph) on DPCs

more... There will be need to construct dedicated freight corridors for small stretches near ports/ mines where freight traffic is high enough. So fewer freight trains are likely to operate on conventional network. So on other routes of IR, we may expect 130kmph pax. train operation (avg speed 60-80kmph) in long run which will operate with some freight trains.
