Ritco Logistics reaches new milestone with their new project in the North East
16th December, 2024: Ritco logistics achieves a new milestone with the support of Eastern Railways, Kolkata Port Trust and Government of Assam by flagging off the first ever IR rake of Food Grains from Kolkata to Silchar. This would enable the citizens of Assam and North Eastern States seamless supply of food grains at cost effective prices. The historical moment flagging off was jointly conducted by Sri Rathendra Raman, Chairman of Kolkata Port Trust, Sri Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Port, and, Dr. Uday Shankar Jha, PCCM - Eastern Railways along with Sri Surya Narayan Singh Vice President M/s Ritco Logistics Ltd, Senior Management Bharat Industries & Investors Guild, Associate Partner Legal Eagles Multispecialty Transnational Corporate Law Firm on 13th December 2024.
The mini rake of 21 wagons carried food grains imported by ETG Agro through SMPK from EJC Yard of Kolkata Dock System. It is carrying 1350 Metric Tons of yellow peas and red lentils for the Silchar station.
Dr. Uday Shankar Jha, PCCM at Eastern Railways said, “We are delighted to have players like Ritco Logitics who are coming up with such models and solutions. This will help traders and consumers at large to receive consignment at a lower price compared to roadways. Also, it will avoid accidents on roads and reduce the risks of damage. This also allows railways to have new commodities as we are trying on model shifting.”
On the historic occasion, Surya Narayan Singh, Vice President - Multimodal Division at Ritco Logistics said, “We are happy to take the first step in the vision and dedication of the Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji. We at Ritco Logistics are committed to provide food grains at the best price and facilities to the citizens of the North Eastern states. We are grateful to Shree Ratendra Raman ji Chairman of Kolkata Port Trust, Dr. Uday Shankar Jha ji PCCM of Eatern Railways and Dr. Ravi Koda ji Principal Secretary of Assam Government for their supportive association in materializing this historic project. This is our commitment and step in nation building.”
Ritco Logistics in association with SMPK has played the role of aggregator and facilitator. Importers and traders are willing to send less than minimum required wagons find it difficult to take advantage of the economic railway freight rates of food grains. They have to send the consignment by Road at a higher price. Anyone desiring to send less than minimum Railway wagons can take advantage of this service. Ritco Logistics will amalgamate wagon loads of various traders and make it a mini rake or full rake and send them to the destination.
