Gateway Distriparks Acquires Land in Indore for New ICD, Expanding Central India Footprint

Gateway Distriparks Limited (GDL) has acquired approximately 25 acres of land in Indore, near the Pithampur Industrial Area, to develop and operate a new Inland Container Depot (ICD). The proposed ICD has already received In-Principle Approval from Indian Railways, and will be developed with two rail sidings with a planned capacity of handling around 120,000 TEUs annually. The total investment for the project is estimated at X150 crores. Once operational, the facility will provide integrated services including rail transportation for EXIM and domestic containers, container handling, bonded warehousing, and last-mile road distribution. This marks GDL’s first entry into Central India and Madhya Pradesh, expanding the company’s footprint into a fast-growing industrial and manufacturing region. The ICD is expected to serve a wide regional catchment including Indore, Pithampur, Dewas, Dhar, Mhow, Ujjain, Sanwer, and surrounding industrial clusters. It will handle a diverse mix of cargo including auto components, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, polymers, textiles and garments, agricultural products, and other commodities.
