The Sindi Multimodal Logistics Park is expected to begin operations in 2025, with initial exports likely to Bangladesh using a riverine transport route. DeltaCorp, the developer, has sought approval to utilize existing infrastructure, enabling an early start ahead of the scheduled commercial operation date.
The facility, also known as the Sindi dry port, is poised to handle exports of cotton, automobile parts, and transmission towers to Bangladesh, while also exploring the use of car carriers for domestic automobile transport. Strategically positioned, the park leverages a rail-to-river route, where cargo will be transported by rail to Haldia in West Bengal before being shipped via river vessels to Bangladesh. This method offers a cost-effective alternative to road and rail congestion, boosting the competitiveness of Indian exports.
Bangladesh remains a key trade partner, with exports from Sindi expected to include Vidarbha’s cotton, tractors, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and perishables like oranges and onions. The park is also set to enhance domestic logistics, providing a centralized hub for car carrier operations.
A flagship project championed by Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, the facility was inaugurated in December 2023. Once operational, it is expected to streamline logistics in Vidarbha, reduce reliance on scattered railway terminals, and strengthen trade efficiency in the region.
