In a first for the region, a dedicated milk freight train carrying products from Amul has arrived in Jammu and Kashmir from Gujarat, marking a significant step forward in bulk dairy transportation by rail, carrying 1000 tonnes of Amul products including toned milk, milk powder, buttermilk, lassi, and other essential dairy items. The initiative introduces a more reliable supply route for essential food items, aimed at improving consistency and availability across the Union Territory. The train was equipped with refrigerated containers to maintain the freshness and quality of milk and dairy products throughout the journey. Carrying large volumes, it ensured safe and spoilage-free delivery, even across long distances. Railway officials described the development as a historic milestone, reflecting a broader shift toward more dependable, efficient, and resilient supply chain systems in India’s food logistics network.
