Delhi, India

The railways have identified around 3000 sites across the country for setting up retails outlets agri retail infrastructure and warehouses. For tapping the opportunity various firms like Reliance, ITC, Tata and GE logistics etc are already lined up their investment plans. To avoid monopoly of a single company the railway is planning no to give the vacant land at a station to any one company.  The agri-retail chain is a win-win formula for all three parties — the railways, retailers and farmers. The retailers will be benefitted by the preferential treatment given by railways in terms of lower freight rates compared with other customers and the farmers will be benefited by receiving ideal remunerative price for their farmer’s produce.  The railways will be benefitted as an equity partner in every hub by putting land as equity in JVs.
