To address this issue, Gateway Rail Freight Limited decided to provide dedicated round trip services between ICD Viramgam and various ports which brings in empty containers into the Ahmedabad region in the inward direction, and carries export laden containers to various ports in the outward direction.

GatewayRail operates a fleet of 31 train sets and has an overall annual handling capacity of over 600,000 twenty-foot equivalent units(TEUs).
