Dear Sir/ Ma’am, We are pleased to inform you that Hon’ble Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw formally flagged off Bulk Tiles Train from Devaliya MMCT of Western Carriers (India) Limited on September 15, 2026. This 42 acres Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal will enhance rail-based cargo movement, improve supply chain efficiency for various industries, and support the nation's vision of sustainable and infrastructure-led growth. A copy of the Press Release with this regard is enclosed herewith. This is for your information and records. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, For Western Carriers (India) Limited Sapna Kochar Company Secretary & Compliance O(cid:431)icer ICSI Membership No.: A56298 Place: Kolkata, West Bengal Union Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw flags off Bulk Tiles Train at Western Carriers' Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal in Morbi, Gujarat Morbi, Gujarat, India, 15th September 2026: Hon’ble Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw formally flagged off Bulk Tiles Train at Western Carriers (India) Limited’s Gati Sakti Cargo Terminal at Devaliya in Morbi, Gujarat. The ceremony, held at the terminal premises, was attended by senior officials of WCIL, representatives of the Ministry of Railways, and members of the local business and industrial community. Spanning over 42 acres, the Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal (WCGD) is designed as a state-of-the-art multimodal logistics platform capable of handling cargo movement via both road and rail, using Container Rake and Wagon Rake systems. With today's flag off, the terminal moves from operational readiness to full commercial activation. The terminal is strategically positioned to serve some of Gujarat's most vital industrial clusters. It is expected to significantly benefit the salt industry of the Maliya belt, one of the country's leading salt- producing regions, as well as the ceramics industry of Morbi, which produces around 5 million tonnes of ceramic products annually and caters to more than 80% of India's domestic demand. The facility is also set to support the logistics needs of the chemicals, agriculture, fertiliser, and MSME sectors operating in the region. Specially, the Gujarat flag off comes only days after WCIL inaugurated its General Cargo Terminal (GCT) at the GCD Yard of the Kolkata Dock System under the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port Authority (SMPA) on Friday, 11th September 2026, marking the Company's first operational base on India's east coast. Developed and operated by WCIL under a 15-year agreement with SMPA, the Kolkata facility is designed to handle dry bulk, break-bulk and all container categories, with Phase I fully operational from launch. Together, the Kolkata and Morbi terminals strengthen WCIL's rail-linked presence across the country's critical East-West freight corridor. WCIL remains committed to offering seamless, safe, fast, and cost-effective logistics solutions with value-added services to its customers, and the Morbi facility is poised to significantly enhance the logistics capabilities of several industrial clusters in the region including tiles, ceramics, chemicals, salt etc. The flag off is aligned with the Government of India's PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, which aims to strengthen multimodal connectivity and reduce logistics costs across the country, in line with the broader vision of Viksit Bharat. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Rajendra Sethia, Chairman & Managing Director, Western Carriers (India) Limited, said, “The flagging off of our tiles train from Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal in Morbi by Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Railway Minister, comes close on the heels of our new terminal in Kolkata and is a significant milestone in WCIL's journey of strengthening India's logistics infrastructure across the East-West corridor. We are deeply grateful to Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw ji and the Ministry of Railways for their continued support and guidance. This Morbi facility will serve as a vital logistics backbone for the salt industry, the ceramics industry, and other key sectors such as chemicals, agriculture, fertiliser and MSMEs in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. It reflects our commitment to building integrated, scalable and future-ready logistics solutions in support of the nation's Viksit Bharat vision.” With the terminal now fully operational, WCIL plans to further expand in future the facility's capabilities, including the development of an inland container depot and warehousing infrastructure, reinforcing its role as a critical logistics hub connecting Gujarat's industrial heartland to markets across India.
