Indian Railways is on track to surpass its target of 100 Gati Shakti Cargo Terminals, with plans to establish 200 terminals across the country. The Gati Shakti initiative aims to revolutionize freight transportation infrastructure, boost efficiency, and drive economic growth. By strategically locating these modern facilities, the railways seek to optimize freight routes, reduce transit times, and lower logistics costs for businesses. The expansion of the Gati Shakti network is expected to benefit manufacturers, exporters, and consumers by improving supply chain efficiency and market access. This ambitious project aligns with the government's vision of promoting multimodal transportation and increasing the share of railways in freight movement. Through investments in technology and operational excellence, Indian Railways aims to meet the evolving needs of the economy and enhance the seamless movement of goods. The establishment of 200 Gati Shakti cargo terminals underscores the railways' pivotal role in driving economic growth and supporting India's aspirations for sustainable development.
