In an exchange filing, Prem Kishan Dass Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director, Gateway Distriparks Limited stated, “The company has shown strong results in FY 2021-22 and we believe that now as a merged entity, we will see further growth as there are still operational synergies & efficiencies to be achieved at multiple levels of business in our operations pan-India. Our focus continues to be on optimising operating costs and creating integrated supply chain solutions for our customers using our multi-modal strength, which also helps them offset some of the increased cost pressures due to fuel price hikes by using rail transportation instead of trucking. In terms of expansion, we have now embarked upon our earlier-mentioned plans to add satellite rail terminals in the northern region, which will feed into our existing network of rail terminals that are aligned with the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC). Our company stands to gain directly from DFC since we had taken an early position on ICDs that are connected to it, which have been handling double-stacked containers since 2011, and as each section of the corridor becomes operational, the turnaround time of our trains improves further.”
Gateway Distriparks Limited is an integrated inter-modal logistics service provider. It has a network of nine inland container depots and container freight stations, strategically located across the country, operating a fleet of 31 trainsets along with 500+ trailers for transportation between its facilities and maritime ports, as well as first & last-mile connectivity to provide end-to-end solutions to the EXIM industry. The company offers general and bonded warehousing, rail & road transportation, container handling services along with other value-added services.
On Tuesday, the scrip of Gateway Distriparks closed at Rs 76 per share on BSE, down by 3.16 per cent.
