Aion-Tech’s ROQIT Partners with Indian Railways for Parcel Logistics
Filing Summary
Aion-Tech Solutions Ltd, through its subsidiary ROQIT, has partnered with Indian Railways to develop an AI-powered parcel logistics platform. The pilot project will commence with South Central Railway in early 2026, aiming to modernize India’s logistics infrastructure. The initiative will focus on lightweight to medium-weight parcel delivery, leveraging a cloud-native mobile app for enhanced efficiency. The project aligns with Indian Railways’ goal of increasing parcel traffic and improving logistics efficiency. A phased national rollout is planned following the pilot phase.
Aion-Tech Solutions Ltd, through its wholly owned subsidiary ROQIT, has entered into a partnership with Indian Railways to design and deploy an AI-powered parcel logistics platform. This initiative aims to transform the logistics infrastructure in India, focusing on sustainable, door-to-door parcel delivery. The pilot project will begin with South Central Railway in early 2026, marking the initial phase of a nationwide rollout.
The filing does not specify the financial terms of the agreement between Aion-Tech Solutions Ltd and Indian Railways. The focus is on developing a comprehensive logistics platform that integrates AI-driven intelligence and green mobility solutions. The project aims to enhance the efficiency of parcel delivery services, which currently account for less than 1% of Indian Railways’ total traffic volume.
The scope of the project includes the development of a cloud-native mobile app that offers complete door-to-door parcel service. This app will enable first- and last-mile connectivity through partner fleet operators. The platform will replace manual, paper-based processes with predictive scheduling, instant booking, digital payments, and real-time tracking. It will also introduce a marketplace model, allowing customers to choose logistics partners based on cost, speed, and sustainability.
Indian Railways, with a network spanning approximately 68,500-68,600 km, generates nearly 70% of its revenue from freight. The current capacity for small to medium-sized parcel transport is underutilized, with only 0.5-1% of its capacity dedicated to this segment. The ROQIT platform aims to address these efficiency gaps by creating a fully digital, customer-centric, and environmentally sustainable ecosystem.
The pilot phase is scheduled to commence in January-February 2026 across select locations within the Indian Railways network. Following the pilot, a phased national rollout will be initiated to expand the platform’s reach. The project emphasizes sustainability by leveraging electric vehicle-based fleet operators for first- and last-mile logistics, aligning with India’s Net-Zero vision.
Indian Railways is the world’s fourth-largest rail network, focusing primarily on bulk freight. The collaboration with ROQIT aims to enhance its logistics capabilities by integrating AI-driven solutions and sustainable practices.
