Gateway Distriparks Limited announced the commencement of its double stack rail transportation services between its Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Ahmedabad (Viramgam) to Mundra Port for its Export-Import (EXIM) trade customers. This key development will significantly enhance operational efficiency, improve asset productivity for the company's 31 trains and ultimately reduce the overall cost of logistics for the trade, while expediting container evacuation at the port and its Inland Container Depots (ICDs). The first double stack train was flagged off by Indian Railways officials from Ahmedabad Division on 29th June.

ICD Viramgam, spread over 40 acres, is located at Ahmedabad and has a capacity to handle 200,000 TEUs per annum with 2 rail sidings used for consolidating containers for double stack rail services. Gateway Distriparks can leverage its strategically located network of ICDs by consolidating containers for multiple destinations at its hubs in Gurgaon and Ahmedabad, which are connected to the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor.
