The Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL) is planning freight terminals at railway stations in Vadodara division, including locations like Makarpura, Varedia, New Sanjali, New Gothan, and New Udhana. DFCCIL aims to establish an eco-friendly corridor from JNPT in Mumbai to Dadri, incorporating solar energy systems at stations for energy neutrality. Trial runs of goods trains on the newly electrified railway section from Gothangam to Makarpura, covering 115 km, have begun. Additionally, the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) connecting Dadri to JNPT spans five states: Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
