Jammu, April 23,2026- In a landmark development for the region’s supply chain, a special milk freight train carrying Amul products has reached Jammu and Kashmir from Gujarat, marking a historic first in ensuring bulk dairy transportation to the Union Territory via rail.
The initiative is expected to significantly strengthen the cold chain logistics and ensure a steady supply of fresh milk and dairy products across Jammu & Kashmir. Officials said the move will help meet rising consumer demand while also stabilizing prices and reducing dependency on traditional road-based supply routes.
The train, equipped with specialized refrigerated containers, transported large quantities of milk and dairy products, ensuring quality and freshness upon arrival. This milestone is seen as a major boost to food supply resilience, especially in regions that often face weather-related disruptions.
Authorities highlighted that the introduction of dedicated freight services for dairy products will not only enhance availability but also open new avenues for efficient inter-state trade. The initiative aligns with broader efforts to modernize logistics infrastructure and improve essential commodity distribution in the region.
Experts believe that such rail-based supply solutions can play a crucial role in supporting both consumers and local businesses by ensuring timely delivery and cost efficiency.
This historic development underscores the growing integration of Jammu & Kashmir with national supply networks and reflects the government’s focus on strengthening infrastructure and connectivity.
