Share Review : Gateway Distriparks Target Rs. 190

Gateway Distriparks (GDL) is the only logistics facilitator in India, with 3 verticals which are synergistic and capable of being interlinked – container freight stations (CFS), inland container depots (ICD) with rail movement of containers to major maritime ports and cold chain storage &  logistics.

GDL operates four container freight stations: 2 at Navi Mumbai, 1 at Chennai and one at Visakhapatanam with capacity of over 6 lakh TEUs. A new CFS at Kochi will be operational by Q4 2011-12. These CFSs offer transportation and storage, general and bonded warehousing, empty handling and several value-added services. The CFS business brings in 40% of the turnover and 94% of profit.

 GDL’s rail operations are handled by a subsidiary, Gateway Rail Freight, in which the Blackstone Group of the USA has invested private equity through Blackstone GPV Capital Partners (Mauritius) V-H.

Gateway Rail operates rail-linked facilities at Garhi-Harsaru (Gurgaon, Haryana), Ludhiana (Punjab) and Kalamboli (Navi Mumbai). It owns and operates a fleet of 21 trains and above 235 road trailers at its rail-linked terminals. Exim volumes are most contributors to the overall segment revenue. Exim volumes are also higher contribution to margins.

The third vertical consists of cold chain logistics solutions out of 19 locations in India through a subsidiary, Snowman Logistics, a leading logistics services provider and India’s first cold-supply-chain company with a nationwide network connecting more than 100 cities and over 4,400 outlets.
