Agartala, May 6: In a significant boost to regional trade connectivity, the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has launched a dedicated Parcel Cargo Express Train (PCET) service linking Agartala in Tripura with Sanehwal in Punjab.

As per NFR officials, the PCET will operate twice a month, making a total of 144 round trips over a span of six years.

The service is designed to enhance the transportation of key commodities such as rubber and pineapples from the Northeast to larger markets across the country. Initially, the train will consist of 15 parcel vans and one brake van. Plans are in place to increase the capacity to 20 parcel vans after six months in response to expected growth in demand.

By enabling efficient and timely goods movement, the PCET is set to reduce transit time and provide a dependable logistics solution for traders and farmers in the region.

This initiative marks a step forward in strengthening the trade infrastructure of the Northeast and supporting the local economy.
