Freight Services
Indian Railways partners with GatewayRail to start Assured Transit Time Services
Mumbai/IBNS: Indian Railways commenced its Assured Transit Time Services under the new Freight Express Scheme with GatewayRail on August 15 this year.
The train left from Inland Container Depot (ICD) Garhi-Harsaru and reached Mundra port within a record 22 hours 10 mins.
Prem Kishan Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director, commented, “With this, GatewayRail offers the lowest transit time amongst all the ICDs in NCR, from our ICD Garhi-Harsaru to the three west coast ports of Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Pipavav. This will not only help in improving service levels for our customers, but also attract new exporters in the NCR region to ICD Garhi-Harsaru. In addition, this also increases the overall competitiveness of rail transport over road.”
Gateway Rail Freight Ltd (a subsidiary of Gateway Distriparks Ltd) is India's private intermodal operator.
It provides intermodal logistics solutions from its rail-linked ICDs based at Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ludhiana and Viramgam and a Domestic Container Terminal (Navi Mumbai) with an overall annual handling capacity of over 6,00,000 TEU and warehousing space of over 40,000 SQM.
