The Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) has marked a significant milestone in advancing India’s multimodal logistics network by successfully flagging off its first container rake carrying ITC Limited cargo from Baran, Rajasthan, to Whitefield, Bengaluru.
The inaugural container rake was flagged off by Mr. Saurabh Jain, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager (Sr. DCM), Kota Division, in the presence of officials from CWC’s Regional Offices in Chandigarh and Jaipur, along with representatives from ITC Limited and SCALAR.
The new rail service is aimed at providing customers with a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective freight transportation solution, while enhancing connectivity between northern and southern India.
The initiative underscores CWC’s continued focus on expanding rail-based cargo movement as part of its integrated logistics strategy. By shifting more freight to rail, the corporation seeks to reduce logistics costs, improve supply chain efficiency, and promote environmentally sustainable transportation.
The launch also aligns with the Government of India’s PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, which aims to strengthen multimodal infrastructure, improve logistics efficiency, and create a resilient, integrated supply chain network across the country.
With this milestone, CWC further reinforces its commitment to offering seamless end-to-end logistics solutions and supporting India’s vision of a modern, sustainable, and globally competitive logistics ecosystem.
