Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has completed the track linking works connecting Jogighopa Railway Station yard with the Multi Modal Logistics Park (MMLP) siding in Assam, marking an important milestone in strengthening freight logistics and multimodal connectivity in the Northeast region.
The Non-Interlocking (NI) work has been completed, paving the way for freight trains to and from the MMLP to directly access the national railway network. The completed connectivity includes links from Line No. 1 and Line No. 2 of Jogighopa station towards the MMLP GCT, enabling smoother and more efficient freight movement.
Strategically located along the Brahmaputra River, Jogighopa MMLP is the first Multi Modal Logistics Park in Assam, integrating road, rail, air and waterways to facilitate seamless movement of goods and strengthen the region’s connectivity with national and international markets.
The new rail connectivity will further enhance the potential of Jogighopa MMLP as a major logistics hub for the Northeast, supporting efficient supply chains and facilitating movement of freight to markets across India and towards neighbouring countries. Its strategic location also offers significant potential to strengthen trade and commercial connectivity with Bhutan and other neighbouring countries.
The MMLP is equipped with modern logistics facilities including warehouses, railway siding, cold storage, customs clearance house, yard facilities, workshops, petrol pumps and truck parking, supporting integrated handling, storage and transportation of cargo.
The enhanced rail connectivity is expected to provide significant benefits to trade, industry and logistics sectors by improving freight efficiency and supporting regional economic growth. It will also strengthen the Northeast’s potential to emerge as a strategic gateway for international trade and regional connectivity.
