KILARAIPUR: Hind Terminals Private Limited, in association with ThreeLine Cargo India Pvt. Ltd. and OOCL, marked an important milestone in rail-based logistics with the flag-off of a block train from Kilaraipur to Mundra Port on September 25, 2026, according to a LinkedIn post.
The block train movement represents a coordinated effort to facilitate efficient movement of EXIM cargo through an integrated rail and port logistics network, connecting the inland cargo location at Kilaraipur with Mundra Port, one of India’s key gateways for international trade.
The flag-off ceremony brought together stakeholders from the logistics, shipping and rail transportation ecosystem, highlighting the importance of collaborative solutions in creating reliable and efficient cargo movement channels.
The dedicated block train operation provides an opportunity to streamline cargo transportation between the hinterland and the gateway port, supporting better connectivity and contributing to more integrated supply-chain operations. Rail-based cargo movement can also play an important role in improving the efficiency of long-distance freight transportation and strengthening the link between inland logistics hubs and seaports.
The initiative further reflects the growing importance of multimodal logistics, where shipping lines, terminal operators and logistics service providers work together to provide seamless connectivity across the EXIM supply chain.
For professionals and industry participants, the execution of the block train movement also offered valuable practical exposure to rail operations, container logistics, terminal coordination and EXIM cargo handling, providing insights into the various stages involved in moving cargo from the hinterland to the port gateway.
The successful flag-off underscores the importance of stakeholder collaboration in developing efficient, dependable and customer-focused logistics solutions for India’s growing trade requirements.
