Manesar Maruti plant gets a direct link to railway grid
Gurgaon: Cars manufactured at Maruti Suzuki 's main factory in Manesar can directly board railway carriages within the compound as they head to sellers in different parts of the country. The country's largest multi-modal cargo terminal, which is located inside the factory premises, was inaugurated on Tuesday by railways minister Ahswani Vaishnaw and chief minister Nayab Singh Saini. The terminal is part of the first phase of Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor (HORC) project, which aims to streamline logistics in the state by connecting Palwal to Sonipat via Manesar and other industrial hubs. To be used exclusively by Maruti Suzuki, the terminal has a direct link with Northern Railway at Patli through a 6.9km track. From Patli, cargo rakes can go to Rewari and switch to the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC). The terminal can handle 4.5 lakh cars annually. The capacity, if utilised, will take both pollution and traffic pressure off NH-8 and other road links between north and west, two of the country's most industrialised belts. After flagging off the first train from the Manesar plant for Nagpur in Maharashtra with 276 cars, Vaishnaw said, "In Dec 2021, govt simplified the process to set up multi-modal cargo terminals, and today, there are 108 such terminals ready." Saini said vehicles manufactured at the Manesar plant could reach 380 cities and those meant for export can reach ports in Gujarat via DFC. "This will directly connect Haryana to the global supply chain," Saini said. Hisashi Takeuchi, managing director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said he was "very happy" that the country's largest automobile in-plant railway siding was inaugurated in Manesar. "The company's second railway siding facility signifies a landmark achievement in its green logistics journey. The project underscores our strong commitment to India's net-zero emissions target. It will contribute to avoiding 175,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, saving 60 million litres of fuel annually at full capacity, and reducing road congestion," Takeuchi said. He added that the automaker aims to transport 35% of its vehicles through railways by 2030-31. Maruti has dispatched 25 lakh vehicles by rail since 2014-15. But it started out by transporting cars to a railway station in trucks before loading them onto trains. The company, a few months ago, inaugurated its first railway siding facility at its Gujarat plant. Last year, Maruti started using the 'truck on train' facility from Rewari. For this too, cars were loaded into trucks, but the trucks were directly driven onto trains. Spread over 46 acres, the Manesar terminal has four tracks for rakes and one for engine escape, totaling 8.2km in length. Registered under PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, it was executed by Haryana Orbital Rail Corporation Ltd, a joint venture. Under this, Maruti is supposed to invest Rs 325 crore for the orbital corridor apart from Rs 127 crore for yard development in its Manesar plant.

Mumbai: The cabinet on Tuesday approved MahaAgri-AI Policy 2025-29, under which innovation and incubation centres will be set up in the state and artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, drones and predictive analytics used to transform the agriculture sector. A fund of Rs 500 crore will be made available for the first three years for implementation of the policy, officials said. "Sustainable and scalable solutions will be implemented. There will be a three-tier administrative structure for implementation. Necessary changes will be made to this policy in the next five years since the AI sector is changing rapidly," said an official. The farmer-centred policy entails establishment of a leading independent centre that will also work on partnership with national and international organisations, said the official. Innovation and incubation centres will be set up in four agricultural universities under the guidance of institutions like IITs/IISc. A global summit will be organised every year under the policy, which will involve direct interactions with investors. "This conference will be held in various parts of the state on a cyclical basis," said the official. —Chaitanya Marpakwar
