Jodhpur's export logistics gains speed with 'Furniture Express'
Rajasthan's exporters now have a dedicated rail service called Furniture Express, launched on 28 February by Rajasthan Small Industries Corporation (RAJSICO) with Doon Logistics. It has moved over 2,100 containers from Jodhpur to Mundra Port in 36 trains. Empty containers from shipping lines like MSC and OOCL are now available at Jodhpur, cutting delays and road transport costs. That helps exporters plan their packing better.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Furniture Express is a dedicated rail freight service for Rajasthan's furniture, handicraft and guar gum exporters, launched on 28 February by RAJSICO along with Doon Logistics.
- It has carried over 2,100 containers from Jodhpur to Mundra Port through 36 trains, and two to three train rakes are now running every week.
- Empty containers from major shipping lines such as MSC and OOCL are available at the RAJSICO inland container depot in Jodhpur, so exporters no longer source them from other cities.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you export from Jodhpur or nearby, ask your freight forwarder or the RAJSICO team about booking this rail service for your next shipment, and confirm current train schedules and container availability with them directly before you finalise packing plans.
