Guidelines for provision of minimum infrastructure while developing new GCTs in
order to reduce the cost of terminal.
*******
The Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal (GCT) policy was launched in 2021 to encourage private sector
participation in developing freight terminals and integrating modem technology in freight management. •
While the objective to rationalize the capital cost of GCT, Board (MI, M/T&RS and Member/O&BD) has
issued the following guidelines for consideration:
(1) Civil Engineering Standards -
a. Rails: 52 kg/m (second hand) or 52 Kg/m (Industrial Use), Sleeper density of 1540/km and
Ballast Depth of 300 mm may be considered with maximum permissible speed up to 50 kmph as
' per extant provision of IRPWM for loads other than 25T and CC+8+ 2.
•
b. If the TVU is lesser than 20000, a decision to provide LC may be taken as per the site condition
considering the capitalized cost of maintenance of a manned LC gate.
(2) OHE Standards -
a. Conventional OHE may be planned on lead portion and inside GCT.
b. Circuit breakers may be planned for GCT to isolate the terminal from mainline.
c. Instead of the masts, portals may be planned in the terminal yard wherever possible to reduce the
• land acquisition cost.
d. No TSS, SSP/ SP to be planned on siding account. However, if it becomes necessary to provide
TSS (to meet load on account of extra traffic\ the same may be planned at the Railway's cost.
(3) S&T Standards-
a. No EI/distributed EI and track circuiting to be insisted in the siding/terminal or its R&D yard.
The yards may be non-interlocked with hand operated points.
(4) Depending upon the quantum of traffic ~d distance of the siding from station, if the
facilities· such as El, TSS, auto signalling etc. are required, it should be planned w • the
personal approval of GM on the recommendation of PCOM.
This issues with the approval of Board (Ml, Memper/f &RS, Member/O&BD)
