India’s Largest Multi Modal Cargo Terminal Opens at Manesar

India’s largest multi-modal cargo terminal under the Gati Shakti initiative has been unveiled in Manesar, Haryana. This state-of-the-art facility integrates rail and road logistics to streamline freight movement and significantly reduce transportation hassles for businesses across the region.

The terminal features expansive storage yards, modern handling equipment for containers, and seamless connectivity to major highways and rail lines. It is designed to cater to a wide range of commodities—from bulk goods to manufactured products—supporting both road and rail operators through centralised transfer facilities.

By combining rail and road capabilities, the terminal aims to enhance the efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness of freight transport. This boost in logistics infrastructure is particularly significant for the densely industrialised Manesar region, as well as businesses along the Delhi–Mumbai freight corridor.

The Gati Shakti terminal represents a major milestone in India’s effort to develop world-class logistics ecosystems under the National Master Plan. With a focus on technology-driven operations and coordinated transport modes, the facility is expected to play a key role in driving economic growth, export competitiveness, and the country’s broader ‘Make in India’ vision.

No glass boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it ..

Why do pavements fail?

India’s highways continue to expand at a healthy pace. But conversations on the surface quality of highways are growing louder because major deficiencies and black spots continue to be identified, and they are cause for concern.“Road surface roughness causes vehicle vibrations that, in turn, can affect the performance of drivers,” explains Dr V K Gahlot, Road Safety Auditor, Centre for Research and Sustainable Development (CfRSD). “Continuous exposure may induce fatigue, a contributory factor to road accidents. Road surface roughness also affects the vehicle operating cost...
