Bengaluru division of SWR captures opportunity provided by NMG rakes

The business development unit of Bengaluru division of South Western Railway has effectively marketed new modified goods (NMG) rakes to various industrial units, APMCs, transporters, traders, merchants and aggregators. The division has offered NMG rakes as a convenient, speedy and safer transportation solution for the transportation of miscellaneous goods from Bengaluru to various parts of the country.

In addition to capturing automobile traffic in a big way, these rakes have helped the division in capturing additional mixed parcel traffic business which is the domain area of road transport. In the last month, the Bengaluru division has already loaded 5 NMG rakes carrying mixed parcel load to various destinations across India. The division has already created the required infrastructure in the shape of loading ramps, platform, lightings at Penukonda and Dodballapur in the Bengaluru division to help this new business stream. 

Some of the commodities being transported through these rakes are tyres, empty drums, medical equipment, FMCG goods, hatching eggs, textile and other mixed commodities. The division expects to load about 30 to 50 such NMG rakes in the current year. This is a new stream of traffic that has great potential and is substantially helped by the induction of new NMG rakes for which various workshops of Indian Railways have done commendable work. 

Every rake gives revenue of approximately 12 to 15 lakhs.
