GST Council may approve metro freight pilot
In short
The GST Council is likely to back a pilot to move cargo from depot to depot by metro trains. The plan, linked to DMRC’s Urban Freight Services, would use the metro network for middle-mile transport.
This could change how goods move in cities, but the reporting does not say when it will start or whether approval is final.
What the reporting says
The GST Council is likely to give a green signal for a pilot depot-to-depot cargo movement using metro trains, according to a publisher summary on DMRC’s Urban Freight Services plan. The reported proposal would use the metro network as middle-mile connectivity, but the available reporting does not say whether the Council has formally approved it or when the pilot would start.
Why it matters
The reported event is a likely GST Council nod for a DMRC pilot to move cargo depot to depot by metro trains through Urban Freight Services. The summary says the metro network would be used as middle-mile connectivity, but it does not confirm formal approval, timing, costs or scale. The immediate impact would be on urban freight operators and metro logistics planning, if the proposal moves ahead.
