Gateway Distriparks (GDL) has successfully launched its first double-stack train service from the Multimodal Logistics Park (MMLP) in Ankleshwar to the Inland Container Depot (ICD) Garhi on October 15, 2025. The inaugural service transported a mix of EXIM (export-import) and domestic containers, operating under a hub-and-spoke model that efficiently connects cargo from JNPT to ICD Garhi via Ankleshwar.
This landmark initiative marks Gateway Distriparks’ entry into domestic rail services between Ankleshwar and North India, significantly enhancing the company’s integrated logistics network. By linking key industrial hubs in western and northern India, GDL is strengthening multimodal connectivity while improving operational efficiency.
“There is tremendous potential to expand this service, and we are truly excited for what lies ahead,” said Samvid Gupta, Joint Managing Director of Gateway Distriparks. “This initiative reinforces our commitment to delivering seamless, cost-effective, and sustainable logistics solutions across India.”
Looking ahead, EXIM operations from Ankleshwar are expected to begin in the next financial year, aligning with the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) connectivity to Nhava Sheva. This development will further boost double-stack rail capacity and enable faster, more efficient cargo movement between ports and industrial centers.
