What we Delivered
Freight does not move on ambition alone, it moves when the demand is proven, the economics are sound, and the operational model is viable. At ASCELA, we built the evidence base that gives the Delhi-NCR RRTS freight proposition its commercial foundation.
Hinterland Mapping & Industrial Demand Assessment
Comprehensive identification and demarcation of the RRTS hinterland across all three corridor, locating major industrial clusters, manufacturing units, and key cargo generators, and analysing their inward and outward freight flows by commodity type, volume, and mode.
Operational Feasibility Assessment
Detailed analysis of the operational parameters required for efficient freight movement via RRTS, including scheduling integration with passenger services, handling infrastructure requirements, and last-mile connectivity considerations across corridor nodes.
Freight Traffic Forecasting
Rigorous forecasting of key commodity volumes with realistic modal shift potential from road and conventional rail to RRTS, providing the demand baseline for infrastructure sizing, service design, and financial modelling.
Economic Rate of Return Assessment
Estimation of the project's Economic Internal Rate of Return (E-IRR), capturing the broader economic benefits of freight modal shift, including decongestion, emissions reduction, and logistics cost savings across the NCR region.
