A special malgadi track will be made to goods transportation. This will bring emerging benefits to the logistics industry. The track will only be available for the goods train to give you maximum benefits. It will increase the speed of the commute and the goods will be delivered at a better speed.
This initiative will be a lot helpful for the logistics industry which is transporting goods from one state to another. If you are using the train for transporting goods, it will be very much useful for you. There are many benefits that you will get when you start using this train for transporting your goods. This guide will cover some of the top advantages you will get in a logistics business and how the special trial will be useful for you. We have divided this article into various points to make your work easier. There will be many more small benefits you will get.
(a) Fast and punctual Goods Movement (High Speed over Long Distances)
The biggest advantage you will get here when you use the special train is the speed. The special train will run a special track that is only for the goods train. As the track is reserved for the malgadi, there will be fewer stops and almost no crossing that you will face. The crossing will only be applicable if the train will face another malgadi that is coming from this same route. Otherwise, there will be absolutely no crossings.
Therefore, this will increase the speed. Also, as it’s a reserved track for goods trains, the speed limit will be more. When the speed limit is more, the train can travel a longer distance in a very short time.
Talking about benefits, you can deliver goods to your destination in a very short time. It will ensure the purhcatuallit of goods from one place to another. As it’s a special train track, you will come to know what will be the estimated time that the train will take. In the majority of cases, the train will reach on or before time.
As a result, you will create a good impression among your consignors. It will also help you speed up your entire process and plan other tasks accordingly.
(b) Cost Reduction
The train is already one of the cheapest ways to transport goods from one place to another. However, in most cases, the train would take more time and it would also have to wait for a longer time to deliver the goods.
The new track will also help you save the cost. There will be more trains running from one place to another. As the train is reserved, the Indian railway will soon introduce new trains that will travel on the given track.
As there are multiple trains, it will increase the revenue of the government and give you a better service at a cheaper rate. We will talk more about government revenue as we move further.
The cheaper transport will help you cut down a lot of costs if you are transporting a lot of KGs. The timing will also be punctual. So, you will also save money in taking out the delivery from the train. This will also save a lot of time. This brings us to the next point of time-saving. If you see it from the time is money perspective, you are already saving a lot of money here.
(c) Time-Saving
Time-saving is the key element that we will talk about here. The biggest problem that goods trains or malgadi faced was the mismanagement of time. Almost none of the trains were running on time due to the wait time. The train will have to wait at every station when there is a passenger train at the crossing line. Also, a certain number of approvals were not given due to the passenger train.
For goods train or malgadi, the most amount of time is wasted for one of the following reasons.
- It’s either due to too many stops before you reach the destination.
- There are also many crossings where the malgadi will have to stop and wait for the passenger train to pass by. Only after that, the goods train can move along.
- There are many speed limits that a goods trail will have to follow as the path is the same for all the trains.
These are the top reasons why time will be wasted. When there is a special track for the goods train, this time will be saved and you will be able to get the goods at a much faster rate.
(d) Fuel Saving
We will now talk about saving fuel and how the new track will help you save a lot of fuel. Usually, people in the logistics industry didn’t give the goods to the train service because of the time. When the train takes a lot of time to deliver the item.
As the train will run on a special track, it will help you in every way. Here are some of the quick problems that people used to face when there was no special track and how they will be solved as the government has introduced a special track for the goods train.
- Earlier, it used to be a big problem due to poor time management. Now, the train will not only run much faster but it will also reach the destination at a proper time giving you the exact estimation of the time for the goods delivery.
- Further, the speed was low due to the limits and many stops.
- There were limited timings available.
All these will be solved. Therefore, the logistics businesses will be able to use the train for transportation giving you complete details about the timing and costs. Therefore, you can start using the train. Hence, saving the charges on fuels.
(e) Government Revenue
As we mentioned in the previous points, people will start using more and more goods trains. This will also allow the government to make more revenue from the trains. This is where you will not directly get the most benefit. However, you will get the profits eventually.
You are playing your part in increasing the revenue of the railways. When this happens, the trains will get better. If this works perfectly well, they might also introduce a new goods train that will go from one place to another on the special track.
This will help you in maintaining the revenue ups and get more benefits. Even if they add more coaches to the train, it will help you in saving the cost and transporting more goods. Overall, this will help you a lot. It will help the entire industry to grow as a sector. As you already have established the logistics business, you will get more benefits here when the special track opens and the train starts working. You already have a customer base that is already using your services. So, you just need to cut down on the costs and provide better services to your customer. That’s pretty much it.
(f) Safety and Larger Capacity
Now comes the last part of the benefits of the special malgadi track that will run on the Indian railway. You will get better safety. The track is reserved for the goods train. In most cases, it will be in the middle of the small station where it will not harm or disturb any other passenger train. This will also prevent harm.
As the track is reserved for the goods train, the train won’t stop at the unusual spot or station due to any problem. This will bring more security to the goods. Also, as the timing will be maintained properly, the goods will be properly placed on the train giving you the best benefits of safety. Talking about capacity, the train will get longer and there will be more coaches added.
The special track is introduced so that the train can travel longer distances with more coaches. As the train doesn’t have to stop at every place, more coaches can be added. The government will soon start more maladies that will run on this special track. When this continues, it will allow you to send more goods at one time without too many early reservations. This gives more benefits to you.
