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.
