Gallantt Ispat Ltd Takes Delivery of Second Railway Rake
Gallantt Ispat Limited recently received the delivery of its second railway rake, marking a significant step in its logistics infrastructure. Under an agreement with East Coast Railway, Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, through the GPWIS Scheme, the company acquired railway wagons to address the shortage in Indian Railways' fleet.
Having already received one railway rake in August 2023, which is now operational, the arrival of the second rake signifies the company's commitment to streamlining its transportation capabilities. This new addition will facilitate the efficient loading of essential raw materials like coal, iron ore, and fines required for Gallantt Ispat's manufacturing units.
The investment in two railway rakes, totaling approximately Rs. 55 crores, ensures timely and cost-effective dispatch of raw materials. Additionally, under the GPWIS Scheme, Indian Railways provides a 10% rebate on railway freight rates for 15 years, allowing the company to enjoy significant cost savings, including a 15% premium indent. This strategic move not only enhances Gallantt Ispat's operational efficiency but also strengthens its competitive position in the market.
