The DFCCIL site says about Eastern DFC .
"Due to non - availability of space along the existing corridor particularly near important city centers and industrial townships, the alignment of the corridor takes a detour to bypass densely populated towns such as Mughalsarai, Allahabad, Kanpur, Etawah, Ferozabad, Tundla, Barhan, Hathras, Aligarh, Hapur, Meerut, Saharanpur, Ambala, Rajpura, Sirhind, Doraha and Sanehwal. Since the origin and destinations of traffic do not necessarily fall on the DFC, a number of junction arrangements have been planned to transfer traffic from the existing Indian Railway Corridor to the DFC and vice versa. These include Dankuni, Andal, Gomoh, Sonnagar, Ganjkhwaja, Mughalsarai, Jeonathpur, Naini/Cheoki, Prempur, Bhaupur, Tundla, Daudkhan, Khurja, Kalanaur, Rajpura, Sirhind and Dhandarikalan. "

Aoocrding to the mail I received from CPM, DFCCIL, the Rajpura-Patiala-Dhuri-Lehra Mohabat is a feeder route under EDFC. DFC may move its traffic to and fro on IR and its own route. That what I could make out if the above article. Whats your say ?
Not new lines, but DFC shall use the existing IR line as detour. As this route from rajpura -Patiala-Dhuri - connects with Ludhiana. The Rajpura-Patiala-Dhuri-LehraMohabat and Jakhal-Dhuri-Ludhiana are sanctioned electrification projects. THE 11058/58 train already running on this route for the past so many years. Survey had been done in 2013 for doubling of this route from Rajpura to Bathinda via Patiala,Dhuri.
