This development marks a significant milestone in India’s logistics sector by boosting efficiency in container transportation, particularly for the movement of import and export goods between ports and the northern hinterlands.

This service is expected to benefit industries across automotive, agriculture, retail, and e-commerce sectors by providing a faster, cost-effective logistics solution.
