Karan Adani, CEO, Adani Ports & SEZ Ltd, commented, “This new company marks yet another milestone in our strategic efforts to explore opportunities in rail transportation by auto wagons in designated territory in India.”

The topography (of North East region) inhibits development of a robust rail network thus necessitating use of road transport – yet another reason for a booming auto trade.

Automobile sector is witnessing rapid growth. Loading activity in this sector increased by 16 per cent in 17-18. This growth, coupled with Government of India’s focus on promoting alternative means of transportation to reduce carbon footprint.
