Gateway Distriparks launches new service to Deendayal Port
Gateway Distriparks Limited, a leading multimodal logistics company, has launched a new container train service to Deendayal Port, connecting all five of its Inland Container Depots (ICDs) located in Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ahmedabad, Ludhiana and Kashipur to the port. With this addition, Deendayal becomes the fourth port in the Western Region serviced by Gateway Distriparks, alongside Mundra, Pipavav and Nhava Sheva. This strategic expansion strengthens the company’s logistics network, offering enhanced services to customers across key industrial regions.
Mr Prem Kishan Dass Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director, Gateway Distriparks, commented, “Expanding our services to Kandla (Deendayal) Port marks a significant milestone for Gateway Distriparks. While we anticipate initial volumes to be modest, we expect substantial growth in the future. Importantly, this expansion requires no additional capital expenditure or new rake deployment. By utilising our existing fleet through efficient hub-and-spoke operations, we demonstrate the strength and flexibility of our network. This approach allows us to meet increasing demand without incurring extra costs, ultimately benefiting our customers and shareholders”.
The new service features double-stack operations to Viramgam, Garhi and Faridabad. Additionally, containers from Ludhiana and Kashipur will be double-stacked via the company’s hubs, optimising efficiency and transit times, highlighted a release.
