Gateway Distriparks, a prominent logistics provider, has launched a double-stack rail service at its Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Faridabad. 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.

According to officials, the introduction of double-stack rail services will enhance capacity at ICD Faridabad, accommodate larger cargo volumes, and optimize rail connectivity to major ports. This service is expected to benefit industries across automotive, agriculture, retail, and e-commerce sectors by providing a faster, cost-effective logistics solution.
