Maruti, Nissan seek to run auto freight trains

26 Nov 2010 Evaluate

Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest car maker and Nissan India have evinced interest in becoming automobile freight train operators. The ministry of railways had in June this year unrolled the automobile freight train operator scheme. Under this, the auto companies will invest in the rakes or wagons and the Railways will offer 15% rebate for 20 years till the cost of rakes is recovered. The railway ministry has also received six proposals from logistics players to set up private freight terminals with a rail link. Out of the six proposals received, four are from the Central Warehousing Corporation and one each from Container Corporation of India (Concor), and Krishak Bharti Co-operative Ltd.

CWC has proposed developing freight terminals at Bamanhari, Nabha, Pathankot, and Amritsar. Concor has proposed a private freight terminal at its container terminal in Nagulapally near Hyderabad, while Kribhco plans to develop one at its Hazira siding. These would also have railway connectivity to handle third-party logistics.

Revenue sharing in the scheme is 50% of the terminal charge or Rs10 per tonne, whichever is higher with a moratorium of two years for brownfield terminals and five years in case of greenfield terminals. The terminal charge will be increased from the sixth year onwards. Revenue streams for the developer would include, terminal charges, wharfage charges and chages for other value added services. By providing investment opportunities to the private sector in this area, railways plans to hike its share in automobile freight to 17% from current levels of 3-4%.crackcrack
