11 Aug 2025 CW Team

Gateway Distriparks Limited (GDL) has signed a 15-year agreement to operate exclusive container train services for the 120-acre Multi Modal Logistics Park (MMLP) at Ankleshwar, Gujarat, developed by Sawariya Group of Industries. The strategically located facility near Surat will handle domestic and EXIM containers, bulk cargo, and other multimodal services, with an initial capacity of 200,000 TEUs and 850,000 sq. ft. of warehousing.

Directly linked to the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor, the park will serve industrial hubs including Surat, Panoli, Ankleshwar, Bharuch, Jhagadia, Dahej, and Hazira. GDL’s exclusivity covers regions where it operates Inland Container Depots, including Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ludhiana, Uttarakhand, and Ahmedabad, with first right of refusal for new markets.

Domestic operations have begun, while the ICD for EXIM volumes is under construction and expected to open next financial year. The shift from road to rail aims to deliver faster transit, lower costs, and reduced emissions.

GDL CMD Prem Kishan Dass Gupta said the asset-light partnership combined Gateway’s multimodal expertise with Sawariya’s infrastructure, enabling rapid network expansion without terminal capital investment.
