Gateway Distriparks runs first double-stack train from Ankleshwar to Garhi

Gateway Distriparks (GDL) has achieved a major milestone with the successful launch of its first double-stack train service from Multimodal Logistics Park (MMLP) Ankleshwar to Inland Container Depot (ICD) Garhi on 15 October 2025. The inaugural train carried a mix of export-import (EXIM) and domestic containers, operating under a hub-and-spoke model that connects cargo movement from JNPT to ICD Garhi via Ankleshwar.
This development marks GDL’s foray into domestic rail services from Ankleshwar to North India, further strengthening its integrated logistics network. The new service enhances multimodal connectivity between western and northern industrial hubs, boosting operational efficiency and offering customers seamless cargo movement options.
Commenting on the achievement, Samvid Gupta, Joint Managing Director, Gateway Distriparks, said, “There is tremendous potential to expand this service, and we are truly excited for what lies ahead. This initiative reinforces our commitment to delivering seamless, cost-effective, and sustainable logistics solutions across India.”
GDL plans to commence EXIM operations from Ankleshwar by the start of the next financial year, in alignment with the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) connectivity to Nhava Sheva. The DFC integration is expected to enhance double-stack capabilities and significantly improve transit times, further consolidating GDL’s position as a key player in India’s multimodal logistics ecosystem.
