In a significant boost to India’s freight & logistics infrastructure, a first double stack container train was flagged off on Tuesday from Hind Terminals Logistics Park in Palwal by Ashok Kumar Verma, General Manager of Northern Railway and Praveen Kumar, Managing Director of the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL). Senior officials from Northern Railway and DFCCIL and representatives from Hind Terminals Pvt Ltd were also present, underscoring the collaboration between the rail sector and private logistics partners. This milestone marks a step forward in enhancing freight movement on the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) and supports the Government of India’s vision for a modal shift in freight transportation. Now, the Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Hind Terminals Logistics Park, Palwal, will be able to provide competitive door-to-door pricing to the region’s exporters and importers who are currently using road transport.
