The GST Council is likely to greenlight the regulatory framework permitting cargo and freight movement through urban metro rail systems across major Indian cities. Designed to leverage unused passenger capacity during off-peak hours and overnight windows, this initiative aims to transform metro infrastructure into an efficient, eco-friendly logistics network for urban last-mile distribution. By allowing logistics operators, courier services, and e-commerce platforms to utilize dedicated metro coaches, the policy will significantly reduce reliance on diesel-powered commercial trucks, alleviate severe metropolitan traffic congestion, and lower carbon emissions. Industry experts anticipate that integrating metro rail corridors with city logistics hubs will accelerate delivery turnarounds, optimize transportation costs, and establish a scalable model for sustainable urban freight transit across the country.
