Logistics company DP World on Tuesday said it has launched double-stack train services from Mundra port to its Ahmedabad inland terminal in Gujarat.

The double-stack train service will further boost the connectivity between the two points and significantly lower the overall logistics cost for cargo movement on the route even with fewer rakes, the company said in a statement.

DP World launches double-stack train services. The maiden train was flagged off from Mundra earlier this month with a full payload, it added.

Robust infrastructure and efficient logistics are crucial for boosting economic growth and exports. The new freight service will boost cargo carrying capacity substantially and will open new markets for MSMEs in and around Gujarat, Adhendru Jain, CEO of Rail and Inland Terminal, DP World Subcontinent, said.

''Situated about 40 km from Ahmedabad, DP World's Ahmedabad Inland Terminal is well-connected to the state highway and the rail network. It has a container handling capacity of more than one lakh TEUs (twenty equipment units) per annum,'' he added.

The terminal offers services, which include warehouse, inventory management services and specialised equipment to handle steel cargo, it said.
