Gajraj Corps Revolutionizes High-Altitude Logistics with Indigenous Mono Rail at 16,000 ft

Operations in the unforgiving expanse of the Kameng Himalayas, where at 16000 feet, sheer baren cliffs, unpredictable weather, and extreme altitude routinely sever vital supply lines, #GajrajCorps has delivered an innovative milestone in high-altitude logistics solution. In an environment where forward posts are often cut off for days under the snow and traditional means of transport struggle against the rugged terrain, ensuring timely delivery of essential stores has long been a formidable challenge.

Rising to this operational necessity, the Gajraj Corps has successfully conceptualised, engineered, and deployed an indigenous High Altitude Mono Rail System, fully operational, validated, and already transforming logistics at 16,000 ft.

This innovative solution—capable of transporting 300+ kg of load in a single run- is proving to be a lifeline to remote posts that have no alternative means of communication or supply links. It enables reliable movement of mission-critical stores, ammunition, rations, fuel, engineering equipment, and other heavy or awkward loads that are otherwise difficult to ferry across steep gradients and unstable surfaces. This transportation facility is fully operation worthy to be used day or night, with or without escort, during hail or storm irrespective of the weather conditions

Beyond logistics, the system has also emerged as a potential enabler for rapid casualty evacuation, offering a safe and efficient means to move injured personnel across inhospitable stretches where helicopters may not always operate and foot evacuation is slow and risky.

A testament to the ingenuity, adaptability, and relentless spirit of #GajrajCorps, this in-house innovation ensures enhanced operational readiness, strengthens sustainability in isolated high-altitude posts, and showcases the Army’s commitment to solving complex challenges with practical, mission-focused solutions.
