Railways have achieved another milestone in freight transportation by operating the Niryat Cargo Express, an export-focused, assured transit service, as a double-stack container train from Ichhapuri Container Terminal in Gurugram to Mundra Port. Earlier, 20 trips of the assured transit service were operated from Garhi, Gurugram. Such a timetabled train is being operated for the first time from Ichhapuri, Gurugram, an official statement said today.
This assured, time-bound weekly service will help exporters by providing faster, reliable, and predictable movement of goods to Mundra Port, reducing delays and logistics costs.
The Delhi Division of Northern Railway has strengthened assured freight movement for exporters. The train was operated as a crack train, meaning minimal halts and uninterrupted movement, allowing faster transit and timely delivery—particularly useful for high-value export cargo.
