Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) has begun work for laying a rail link from its
Manesar (Haryana) manufacturing plant to the Mundra port in Gujarat. MSIL is
working on this rail link along with Haryana Government and the Union Ministry
of Railways.
The proposed project is likely to be completed in a span of two years. The
rail link is expected to enable the company to load cars directly on to the
railway wagon instead of using trucks. Also, the cars so loaded will directly be
put on the ships waiting at Mundra port without having to use any other mode of
transport in between.
At present, the company has to load its cars on to trucks which take them to
the nearest railway station in Gurgaon.
