Kumar recently took over the helm from Ravindra Kumar Jain, who
superannuated on July 31. “All avenues of earning more freight revenue must be
examined. Business development shall be our priority. We must engage in
expanding our business potential and in
this direction extensively and explore all means to further develop Gati Shakti
Cargo Terminals,” said Kumar in a statement after taking over as managing
director.
As per the ‘Gati Shakti Multimodal Cargo Terminal Policy’ launched in
December 2021, the government is aiming to set up 100 such terminals by the end
of 2024-25 and DFCCIL has been rolling out tenders for the development of such
terminals both on private land as well
as alongside both western and eastern dedicated freight corridors.
The development of the
terminals is open to logistics services providers, real estate developers,
third party logistics players, warehousing investors, container train
operators, manufacturers and salient features include
simplified application and approval process, enabling private as well
state-owned operators to set up common user facilities or terminals for
handling rail cargo, relaxation in land license fee, among others. The policy
for the development of these terminals was unveiled to accelerate the growth of
railways’ cargo traffic.
While the Eastern Dedicated
Freight Corridor has been operationalised on its entire route, the Western
Dedicated Freight Corridor is very close to completion.
“With more than 96% of the project being commissioned, DFCCIL has made
transition into operation and maintenance phase which is evinced by the fact
that DFCCIL is showing average daily seamless exchange of more than 700 full
length goods trains,” said Kumar.
Kumar highlighted that DFCCIL is now efficiently executing the
operations of longer, heavier and faster trains which are in the same standard
as acknowledged world class heavy haul railways and called upon the organisation for enhancing Artificial Intelligence
based
operation maintenance systems for greater efficiency.
