MODINAGAR : In a significant boost to India’s manufacturing and export logistics ecosystem, two export block trains carrying consignments of starch and kraft paper were successfully flagged off from ICD Modinagar, reinforcing the growing strength of India’s industrial output and export competitiveness in global markets.
The movement marks another important milestone in enhancing multimodal cargo connectivity and streamlining export supply chains from North India’s industrial belt to international destinations. The dedicated block train operation demonstrates the increasing preference for rail-led logistics solutions that offer greater reliability, efficiency and sustainability for export-oriented industries.
The export cargo, comprising starch and kraft paper products, reflects the rising global demand for Indian manufactured goods and highlights the expanding role of inland container depots in facilitating faster and more seamless cargo evacuation to ports. By enabling efficient aggregation and movement of export cargo, ICD Modinagar continues to strengthen its position as a key logistics gateway supporting regional industries and exporters.
The successful operation was made possible through close coordination and collaboration among logistics stakeholders, with valuable support from Emirates Shipping Line and 3Line Shipping , whose partnership played an important role in ensuring smooth cargo movement and timely execution.
The initiative also underscores the growing importance of integrated logistics partnerships in today’s rapidly evolving trade environment, where dependable supply chains and efficient cargo movement are critical for maintaining export competitiveness. Dedicated rail-based export services not only reduce transit bottlenecks but also contribute towards lower logistics costs, improved cargo visibility and more environmentally sustainable freight transportation.
As India continues to expand its manufacturing capabilities under initiatives aimed at boosting exports and industrial growth, such developments are expected to further strengthen the country’s position in global supply chains while creating enhanced market access opportunities for Indian exporters.
The successful flagging off of these export block trains stands as another example of how collaborative logistics ecosystems, efficient infrastructure and customer-focused supply chain solutions are driving India’s trade growth and supporting the nation’s vision of becoming a global manufacturing and export powerhouse.
