New Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal commissioned in Odisha

A new Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal (GCT) has been commissioned in Jajpur district, Odisha. The terminal is part of the PM Gati Shakti – National Master Plan aimed at developing integrated and seamless logistics infrastructure across the country. Developed at a cost of `36.85 crore, according to the Detailed Project Report (DPR), the Jakhapura terminal features four handling lines and is designed for exclusive use. It will primarily manage cement as the key outbound commodity, while clinker, slag and gypsum will serve as major inbound materials. The terminal is projected to handle around 86 rakes per month, including 36 outward and 50 inward rakes, facilitating the smooth movement of both raw materials and finished goods for the cement and allied industries of the region. The new GCT will significantly enhance freight handling efficiency, reduce logistics costs and improve industrial supply chain connectivity in eastern India, as per a report.
