Western Carriers has inaugurated a general cargo terminal at the GCD Yard of the Kolkata Dock System on September 11, 2026, marking its entry into eastern India's port infrastructure segment under a 15-year agreement with the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port Authority (SMPA).

Strategic entry into eastern India port infrastructure

The launch of the General Cargo Terminal (GCT) represents a significant operational development for Western Carriers, extending its logistics footprint into the port infrastructure space in eastern India. The facility is developed and operated by Western Carriers under a 15-year agreement with SMPA. This marks the company's first operational base on India's east coast, complementing its existing 42-acre Multimodal Cargo Terminal at Devaliya, Gujarat.

The move into port-based infrastructure underscores Western Carriers' broader strategy of expanding its logistics and cargo handling capabilities beyond traditional freight operations. Located within the Kolkata Dock System, the terminal connects to the Eastern Railway network through the Sealdah and Budge Budge sections. It also benefits from Kolkata's extensive road, rail, and inland-waterway connectivity.

Operational scope and future plans

The terminal is designed to handle dry bulk, break-bulk, and all container categories, including 20-foot, 40-foot, and specialised containers. Equipment and manpower deployment for Phase I was completed prior to launch. The company expects to commence Phase II development within the next 90 days, focusing on enhancing throughput capacity, operational efficiency, and service offerings.

The initial estimated investment for civil development is approximately ₹13.68 crore, based on Port Authority estimates. This figure is subject to revision as development progresses. The facility aims to increase Western Carriers' rail modal share in freight transportation through Kolkata port while providing customers with greater flexibility in cargo handling.

Rajendra Sethia, Chairman and Managing Director, stated that the inauguration marks a significant milestone in the company's strategic expansion into Eastern India. He noted that the terminal provides a strategic platform to serve growing cargo volumes and enhance rail-led freight movement across the critical East-West corridor.
