India Linx, the container train service operated by India Infrastructure and Logistics, a joint venture between Singapore-based APL and India’s HIPE, has expanded its operations to cover the Mundra port in Gujarat.
According to The Hindu newspaper, the maiden run to Mundra took place recently from Loni railway terminal near New Delhi. The service on the route will be offered once a week with the transit time being 60 hours in each direction.
Launched in May last year, India Linx has so far been offering services, six per week, only between Loni and Jawaharlal Nehru port.
The decision to start the service to Mundra is part of the company’s diversification plan, with cargo traffic, particularly exports, between North India and the Gujarat port proving to be encouraging.
