Integrated Freight Complex at transportation planning Delhi
ABSTRACT
For the integration of goods movement by road and rail, integrated freight complexes have
been recommended. These would consist of wholesale market, warehousing, road (trucks)
and rail transport terminals so as to curtail the movement of heavy vehicles within the
complex (also refer section on wholesale markets under trade and commerce). The freight
complexes are to be located in the places where they intercept the maximum possible regional
goods traffic entering Delhi. Based on the pattern of goods traffic movement in Delhi, the
following four sites for integrated freight complexes (IFC) proposed as per MPD- 2001 are
presently at various stages of planning and/ or development and one more new site is
proposed in Urban Extension area:
i. Madanpur Khadar (NH-2)
ii. Gazipur (NH-24)
iii. Narela (NH-1)
iv. Dwarka (NH-8)
v. New site in Urban Extensions 2021
