investment, illustrated by initiatives like the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) project.<\/li><li><strong>Environmental and Social Sustainability<\/strong>: The Ministry of Environment sets environmental standards, aligning with reducing the carbon footprint of train operations.<\/li><li>Tariff Regulation: Railway Rate Tribunal regulates tariffs, ensuring fairness and consideration of
