DP World has signed an agreement with Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) and Nevomo to deploy a first-of-its-kind magnetic propulsion solution that enables self-propelled rail movement of bulk cargo and containers at Deendayal Port in Gujarat, stated an official release on Wednesday. The MoU was exchanged in the presence of the Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW), Sarbananda Sonowal and Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DP, during the India Maritime Week 2025 in Mumbai. DP World will leverage the European deep-tech company Nevomo’s proprietary MagRail Booster technology to demonstrate its use in a live Indian port environment. Pilot track A similar MoU was signed between these three entities earlier this year in July 2025. Under the agreement, Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), DP World, and Nevomo will collaborate to design and install a 750-metre MagRail Booster pilot track within the port. The system will demonstrate fully automated and sustainable cargo movement using existing rail infrastructure, reducing the need for conventional locomotives while improving port capacity (throughput), efficiency and safety. Alongside this installation, a strategic feasibility study will assess the potential for large-scale deployment of MagRail technology across Indian ports. Published on October 29, 2025
