Hyderabad/Vijayawada: Indian Railways has launched RailParcel, a pilot initiative aimed at improving parcel movement through rail across seven cities — Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Guntur, Rajahmundry, Visakhapatnam, Bengaluru and Chennai under the leadership of the South Central Railway (SCR) zone.
As part of the pilot rollout, ETO Motors, a subsidiary of AION-Tech Solutions Limited, has been onboarded as the logistics partner to SCR, managing first- and last-mile parcel delivery operations across the selected cities and enabling seamless connectivity between rail transport and end pickup and delivery points during the pilot phase.
The initiative strengthens on-ground parcel movement by improving coordination between railway terminals and end customers, ensuring timely and efficient execution across the pilot cities.
RailParcel is a customer-facing parcel movement solution designed to improve the movement of parcels through India’s extensive rail network by enabling greater shipment visibility and streamlined operational workflows. The pilot represents an important step toward modernizing parcel handling processes while supporting more efficient and sustainable logistics movement through rail.
Commenting on the development, Anthony Daniel, Chief Business Officer, ETO Motors said, “The RailParcel pilot demonstrates how structured first- and last-mile logistics can effectively complement large-scale rail transportation networks. Through this engagement, we are integrating our electric mobility-led logistics capabilities into rail-linked supply chains
