The MoU establishes the framework for a 750-metre pilot project of MagRail technology at Deendayal Port. A pioneering initiative in India will showcase the self-propelled freight movement within a live port environment. The objective is to develop and implement MagRail-based solutions that enable autonomous, electric-powered wagons using linear motor technology on existing rail tracks.
Shri Sushil Kumar Singh, IRSME, Chairman, Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), said: "This collaboration is a strategic advancement in port infrastructure, enhancing capacity and operational efficiency to support growing cargo demands. DP World, as trusted partner, plays a crucial role in enabling this initiative, which aligns with our commitment to strengthening India's logistics framework and ensuring seamless trade facilitation."
The pilot project at Deendayal Port is to demonstrate how MagRail technology can automate short-haul cargo transfers, reduce reliance on diesel vehicles, and improve yard efficiency, Nevomo added.
