As per recent reports, almost 72% market share of domestic product movement rests with an unorganized road network with rail managing to capture only about 30% of which Bulk cargoes like Cement, Coal, POL, Iron Ore etc. are the major constituents.The rising fuel costs, poor quality vehicles, lack of proper infrastructure, waiting at various state borders all contribute to higher lead times in movement, hence more people required to manage the system, leading to increased logistics costs eventually burdening the end customer.The logical solution therefore is to convert inefficiencies of road movements to very competent and efficient rail movement. In line with the liberalisation policy of Govt.of India, the Ministry of Railways issued licenses to private operators in the year 2006, for facilitating this essential transformation.We are amongst the top service providers in the rail logistics business to have invested in Rolling stocks, Containers and Rail Terminals.
