JNPA officials inspected Kharbhav, Bhiwandi and New Nilanje to explore stronger rail connectivity for moving Nhava Sheva containers to Bhiwandi through the Dedicated Freight Corridor, with the aim of reducing road dependence and easing congestion

Double-stack trains allow containers to be carried in two layers, enabling more cargo to be moved in a single rake. The introduction of long-haul double-stack services is therefore expected to improve the capacity and efficiency of rail freight movement from JNPA
