In just 5 months, we've reached a major milestone: the 100th textile train
11 February 2022, Mumbai:
On Wednesday, the Mumbai Center Division of Western Railways loaded the 100th textile train from Chalthan in Surat to Sankrail in the Kharagpur Division of South Eastern Railways, demonstrating the government's commitment to the textile sector.
The Textile Express train has earned the Indian Railways a total of Rs. 10.2 crore, according to the Railways Ministry. The loading of the 100th textile train in five months, according to a Railroads Ministry notice, is a "milestone" that indicates the Surat textile sector's rising faith in railways.
Minister of State for Railways and Textiles Darshana Jardosh had flagged off the first such train from Udhna New Goods shed with textile material bound for Patna and Muzaffarpur just five months previously. 25 tailored new modified goods (NMG) wagons made up the unique textile train.
The textile train stops at key locations including Shankrail and Shalimar on the South Eastern Railway and Danapur and Narayanpur on the East Central Railway.
Surat's textile market, in particular, benefits from the textile train. It is more cost-effective, quicker, and safer, and it helps to unlock the enormous potential of the textile market.
The railway also serves the textile industry's transportation needs, as well as go-down centers in and around Surat.
