ATC has successfully completed its first dedicated New Modified Goods (NMG) rake movement to Nepal, marking a significant milestone in cross-border rail logistics between India and its neighbouring country. The initiative is expected to strengthen regional trade by providing a more efficient and reliable cargo transportation solution.
The dedicated NMG rake was deployed to facilitate the seamless movement of cargo destined for Nepal, reducing transit time and improving supply chain efficiency. The service is designed to support growing bilateral trade by offering a cost-effective alternative to conventional road transport.
The successful operation highlights the increasing role of rail freight in enhancing connectivity between India and Nepal. By leveraging the railway network, logistics providers can improve cargo handling, minimise road congestion and ensure faster delivery of goods across the border.
ATC said the dedicated rake movement reflects its commitment to expanding multimodal logistics solutions and strengthening cross-border freight services. The company expects the initiative to benefit exporters, importers and businesses engaged in Indo-Nepal trade by providing dependable and scalable transportation options.
Industry stakeholders believe the milestone will encourage greater use of rail-based logistics for regional trade, supporting economic integration and improving the efficiency of cargo movement between the two countries. The successful execution also underscores the growing importance of dedicated freight services in meeting rising cross-border trade demand.
