DP World and Reliance Industries have introduced an innovative rail-based logistics solution to revolutionize petrochemical transport. By shifting from road to rail, they aim to reduce carbon emissions and improve efficiency.
A Smarter Alternative to Road Transport
Previously, moving petrochemical containers required a 700 km round-trip by road between Jamnagar and Mundra. Now, the new Ahmedabad-Jamnagar-Mundra rail route covers a similar distance but with significant environmental and operational benefits.
Increased Capacity and Lower Emissions
The rail system can transport up to 1,260 tons of cargo in a single trip, consolidating 45 containers at once. By reducing reliance on multiple trailers and drivers, it streamlines logistics while cutting emissions.
Commitment to Sustainability
By transitioning from road to rail, DP World and Reliance enhance sustainability in the petrochemical supply chain. As reported by manufacturingtodayindia.com, the initiative reflects their dedication to greener and more efficient logistics solutions.
