According to the Railway Ministry, the Sangola (Central Railway zone), Kacheguda (South Central Railway zone), Coimbatore (Southern Railway zone), and Kankariya (Western Railway zone) have already been identified for development as a pilot project.

Apart from parcel terminals, the Railway Ministry plans to increase the production of Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) parcel vans. Facilities such as e-payment and digital payment will also be introduced to boost the parcel business, according to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal.

The minister also ordered adequate steps to be taken for facilitating the traffic movement from the North-eastern region and hill states and to attract export traffic going towards ports. The parcel special train services must be run punctually by Indian Railways authorities so that the customers gain confidence for utilizing these train services.
