Gateway Distriparks has signed a 15-year exclusive agreement with Sawariya Group of Industries to operate container train services at the 120-acre Multi Modal Logistics Park (MMLP) in Ankleshwar, Gujarat, located near Surat. The facility is designed for an annual capacity of 200,000 TEUs and 850,000 sq. ft. of warehousing, with direct connectivity to the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor and the ability to handle double stack trains. Domestic operations have already commenced, with GDL holding exclusivity in Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ludhiana, Uttarakhand, and Ahmedabad markets, plus a first right of refusal for new markets. The ICD portion catering to EXIM volumes is under construction and expected to start operations at the beginning of the next financial year. The company has followed an asset-light model, requiring no capital investment in the terminal itself.
This long-term exclusive partnership expands GDL's footprint in Western India without significant capital outlay, strengthens its hub-and-spoke network, and positions it to benefit from rail-based freight shift in the Gujarat industrial belt. Positive for revenue diversification and long-term volume visibility, though actual financial impact will depend on capacity utilization at the park.
