DFCCIL’s 4th cargo terminal at New Gothangam inaugurated

DFCCIL managing director Praveen Kumar inaugurated the GCT at New Gothangam, which is the fourth terminal (third in the financial year 2024-25) to be operationalized under DFCCIL, following the successful commissioning of GCTs at New Rewari, New Bhaupur, and New Daud Khan. “These terminals significantly boost the freight handling capacity of the DFC network. DFCCIL played a leading role in this initiative, developing four out of the total seven GCTs commissioned under Schedule 2 (railway land) over Indian Railways (IR),” an official said.

The development of GCTs is a pivotal initiative under the Gati Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal Policy introduced by IR to revolutionize freight logistics infrastructure in India.
To further promote terminal development, DFCCIL issued an expression of interest for setting up GCTs across 115 locations, aiming to transform all DFC stations into ‘centers of economic activities’.

Additionally, approvals were secured for the establishment of terminals at New Sardhana station to expand the country’s freight capacity.

The GCTs in New Sardhana and New Sakun are already in the construction phase, and the approval for the GCT in New Dabla is expected this month.

 DFCCIL officials said schedule-1 terminals are being strategically developed at locations such as New Sanjali, New Rewari, New Malikpur, New Dadri, New Dabla, New Dharuhera, and New Jeonathpur.

 These terminals will accelerate the trade of commodities such as iron and steel, HR coils, fertilisers, marine gypsum, cement, food grains, automobiles, and containers, fostering regional economic growth and industrial expansion.
