The Indian Railways has taken an initiative
where materials like fabrics, goods, and yarn from Ludhiana’s textile garment
companies can be exported directly to Bangladesh via trains. MGH Group in
collaboration with Ambala Railways has started this initiative. This railway
has also loaded a parcel train full of cotton yarn from Ambala Cantt Station to
Benapole in Bangladesh. The senior officials at Ambala flagged off this train
that consists of 20 parcel vans.

As per the
railway department, the customers who will choose this option will get
end-to-end transportation solutions such as FMCG, yarn, and fabric from
factories running in Ludhiana and Baddi to the final buyer factories in Bangladesh.

According to
Vivek Sharma, Senior DCM, earlier the commodities like yarns, fabrics, and
goods were transported to Bangladesh via road from Punjab and Haryana. The
quantities were small while the freights were high. During the lockdown, the
scenario changed and now cotton yarn can be transported in bulk through goods
trains. He also said that to move the commodities by train, it is a mandate for
the merchants and farmers to mobilize the quantity in bulk.

According to
Sunil Tangri, Commercial Head, Vardhman Textiles, this train service will help
the textile industry to follow a stringent delivery schedule. He also said that
this process will increase India’s exports and boost economies between these
two countries.
