The Government said that 6 new brand ' Made In India' metro coaches were shipped from the Mumbai Port to Australia on the 29th of January , thus giving a boost to it's 'Make In India' Campaign .
The Ministry of Shipping said in it's statement , "The maiden consignment of 6 metro coaches built in Baroda for export to the Australian Government were shipped from Mumbai ".
A total of 450 coaches have to be shipped over a period of two and a half years .
The coaches were shipped from the Mumbai Port due to it's supremacy in handling over-sized precious cargoes . This is a big achievement for India as it is looking to turn itself into a maufacturing hub for the world just like China did in the past . For this , It has looked into reducing red tape and cancelling out unnecessary laws that have been demotivating the investors from setting up factories in India .
The statement said , " The coaches are 75 feet long and weigh 45 tonnes each , requiring a superior and a highly specialized loading operation with a high degree of precision ".
It also shows how the Mumbai Port is one of the best in India when it comes to shipping precious , large items to other countries . Thus port development will also be an important thing in the future .
The statement added , " The entire of these prestigious over-sized metro coaches has been done in-house by Mumbai Port Trust unlike any other port in India where Private operators carry out such operations. "
Kudos to the government and the Mumbai Port Trust !
