fbimg157814939495939164.jpg

Indian Railways offers a dedicated service for car transportation through specialized NMG (New Modified Goods) and BCACM rakes, designed specifically for moving automobiles across India in a safe, efficient, and cost-effective manner.

​

About the NMG Rake (Car Carrier Train)

  • NMG stands for New Modified Goods rake, a type of railway wagon developed to safely carry cars, SUVs, and small commercial vehicles.

  • Each rake consists of 20–25 specially modified wagons with bi-level decks (upper and lower platforms), allowing double-decker loading of cars to maximize space and efficiency.

  • These wagons are equipped with ramps, locks, and protective side panels to ensure vehicles remain secure and undamaged during transit.

  • The rake can transport up to 250 cars at a time, depending on model size and configuration.

Advantages of Car Transportation by Train

  1.  Speed & Timeliness:
    Trains offer faster long-distance movement compared to road carriers, especially for inter-state or cross-country deliveries.

  2.  Safety & Security:
    NMG rakes are enclosed and designed for minimal vibration and movement, ensuring your vehicles arrive in pristine condition.

  3.  Cost Efficiency:
    Rail transport can reduce logistics costs by up to 40% compared to road for bulk car shipments — ideal for automobile manufacturers, dealers, and fleet operators.

  4. Eco-Friendly Logistics:
    Rail transport produces significantly lower carbon emissions, aligning with Raftar Express’s commitment to sustainable logistics.
