Rail Freight
Efficient Long-Haul Transport
Rail is India's most cost-effective and environmentally conscious long-haul mode. We combine Indian Railways infrastructure with seamless pre/post road carriage for true door-to-door service.
What Is Rail Freight?
Rail freight is an increasingly popular choice for bulk commodities, containers, and industrial goods moving over long distances within India. Leveraging the Indian Railways' CONCOR network and dedicated freight corridors, we move cargo in containers, covered wagons, and flat wagons — integrated with road pre-carriage at origin and delivery carriage at destination to make the service truly door-to-door. Rail freight typically costs 20–30% less than road for distances above 700 km, while generating significantly lower carbon emissions.
Key Benefits
Lower Cost on Long Hauls
For distances above 700 km, rail is typically 20–30% cheaper than full-truck road freight — a compelling saving on bulk and regular shipments.
Lower Carbon Footprint
Rail produces up to 80% fewer emissions per tonne-km than road freight — helping your business meet sustainability targets.
Seamless Door-to-Door
We handle pre-carriage from your premises to the railhead and post-carriage from the destination railhead to the consignee.
High Capacity
Rail excels at moving large volumes — steel, cement, automobiles, FMCG — that would require multiple trucks and complex convoy coordination.
Predictable Transit Times
Dedicated freight corridors (DFC) have improved reliability and reduced transit times significantly on key routes.
Containerised & Wagon Load
ISO containers, covered wagons for bagged goods, flat wagons for ODC cargo, and rakes for bulk minerals.
