Jujhar Logistics Invests Rs 3.30 Billion in 15 Rail Rakes
Jujhar Logistics Limited has announced an investment of Rs 3.30 billion through its subsidiary to acquire 15 rakes of Greater Height Auto Carrier Wagons, comprising ACT 1 and ACT 3 models. The company has placed an order with Texmaco Rail & Engineering Limited for the manufacture and supply of 434 wagons as part of its strategy to expand vehicle transportation capacity and strengthen its rail logistics operations.The investment is expected to increase the company's transportation volumes and revenue while supporting its expansion in the automobile logistics sector.The ACT 1 and ACT 3 wagons are specifically designed to meet the requirements of automobile manufacturers. Developed in accordance with international practices and within the Double Stack Dwarf Container profile, the wagons can accommodate both passenger cars and SUVs on two decks. This increased loading flexibility is expected to support a higher share of automobile transportation by rail, particularly as SUVs account for a growing proportion of vehicle production.The expansion also aligns with Jujhar Logistics' commitment to sustainable transportation. The company has invested in compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and plans to increase automobile movement by rail for major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).Compared with conventional road transportation, rail-based logistics can help reduce fuel consumption, road congestion and carbon emissions. The new wagon fleet is expected to improve loading efficiency, optimise transportation costs and reduce the environmental impact of vehicle distribution.Arshdeep Singh Mundi, Managing Director, Jujhar Group, said, This investment is a decisive step in building rail capability alongside our road network. Purpose-designed wagons that carry more vehicles, including SUVs on both decks, will help us serve our automobile customers more efficiently, while lowering fuel consumption and carbon emissions.The acquisition marks a significant step in Jujhar Logistics' expansion into rail-based automobile transportation, supporting the industry's shift towards higher-capacity and more environmentally sustainable logistics solutions.
