Message From Honourable Minister

Shri Nitin Gadkari,

Honourable Minister of Road Transport,Highways & Shipping ,Govt of India

Sagarmala Programme aims to bring Port-led prosperity to the nation. Port connectivity and evacuation infrastructure is critical to the success of sagarmala programme for reducing logistic costs to support "Make in India".

Realizing the importance of a focused approach on improving port connectivity infrastructure, Indian Port Rail Corporation Limited (IPRCL) has been established in 2015. This Company will primarily undertake rail connectivity projects for major as well as non-major ports, modernizing the rail infrastructure within major ports, and operate and manage internal port railway system.

It is expected that this company, dedicated for port connectivity, will bring about technology upgradation, innovation, best project management practices resulting in efficient movement of cargo from hinterland to the ports and vice versa,leading to reduction of both logistic cost and time.

I wish the Company all success in the challenging task that lies ahead. I am sure infrastructure developers will partner with this company to accomplish the objective of the Government.
