In a landmark move to revolutionize India’s freight transportation ecosystem, Adani Logistics Ltd (ALL) has rolled out its first double stack rake service connecting ICD Tumb (Vapi, Gujarat) with ICD Patli (Haryana). This development is poised to significantly enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and scalability of inland logistics.
“This is not just about moving containers; it’s about accelerating India’s supply chain advantage,” said a senior Adani Logistics official.
Why This Matters
- Double Stack Efficiency: Two layers of containers per train increases cargo capacity per trip, reducing the number of trips needed.
- Cost-Effective & Faster: Reduces transit time and logistics costs between key industrial and consumption zones.
- Green Logistics: Cuts carbon emissions by up to 30% per container, supporting India’s decarbonization goals.
- Strategic Trade Corridor: Connects Vapi, Silvassa, and Daman to Delhi-NCR, Haryana, and Punjab—key industrial and consumption hubs.
- Road Decongestion: Eases pressure on highways by shifting heavy container volumes to rail.
- Boosts EXIM Throughput: Strengthens cargo flow through key western ports—Mundra and Hazira.
- Industry Impact: Especially beneficial for textiles, pharma, electronics, and chemical exporters and manufacturers.
- National Logistics Vision: Supports India’s goal of reducing logistics costs from 14% to below 10% of GDP.
What This Signals
This launch isn’t just another service—it’s a strategic leap toward building a future-ready multimodal logistics network. With its extensive footprint of ICDs, multimodal parks, and warehouses, Adani Logistics is emerging as a key enabler in India’s transformation into a global supply chain powerhouse.
The Tumb–Patli corridor is expected to become a cornerstone of India’s inland freight architecture, driving competitive advantage for businesses across the value chain.
