Western Carriers (India) Limited (WCIL) has inaugurated its advanced Gati Shakti-Multi Modal Cargo Terminal at Devaliya Station (WCGD) in Halvad, near Morbi, Gujarat. This new 30-acre facility is a state-of-the-art hub designed to offer comprehensive multimodal logistics solutions, supporting both container and wagon rake systems for road and rail transportation. Its strategic location is set to significantly boost cargo handling efficiency in the region, with future plans to integrate an inland container depot and warehouse.
The terminal will greatly benefit key local industries, especially the salt industry in the Maliya region and the ceramic industry in Morbi, which accounts for over 80% of India's ceramic production. Additionally, the chemicals, agriculture, fertiliser and MSME sectors in the area are also expected to see substantial advantages from this new infrastructure. WCIL emphasises its commitment to providing seamless, safe, fast, and cost-effective logistics services, promising enhanced capabilities for various industrial clusters in the region.
