WAREHOUSING ON RAILWAYS THROUGH PRIVATE PARTICIPATION


Indian Railways have embarked upon developing rail side warehousing complexes at 22 locations.

The rail side warehousing complexes are being developed as a joint venture with M/s Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC).

These warehousing complexes are intended to provide integrated seamless transport service to the customers. This is also designed to reduce overall logistic cost to the users.

Added to this, Railways have introduced weekly Parcel Express trains with scheduled paths and fast transits between important major cities.
