Indian Railways announced the commissioning of five new goods clearance terminals in Gujarat, expanding the state's freight handling capacity.
Indian Railways has inaugurated five new Goods Clearance Terminals (GCTs) across Gujarat, marking a significant boost to the state's freight infrastructure. The terminals are expected to streamline cargo handling, reduce dwell time for freight trains, and improve overall logistics efficiency in the region.
The expansion aligns with the railway's broader strategy to decongest major routes and promote multimodal transport solutions. Officials said the new GCTs will cater to a growing volume of industrial and agricultural consignments, supporting Gujarat's export-oriented economy.
Stakeholders in the logistics sector anticipate that the enhanced network will lower transportation costs and attract further investment in warehousing and allied services.
