What happened
Additional double-stack container paths on the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor are being offered between the Gujarat ports and NCR inland depots.
Why it matters
Rail lead times from Mundra and Pipavav to the north become more predictable, lowering safety stock needed at NCR distribution centres and easing reliance on long-haul trucking.
Actionable signal
Logistics heads should re-quote port-to-ICD rail against road for Q4 volumes and test a rail share of 20–30% on the most stable lanes.
