What is Hub and Spoke Model?
Hub and spoke model is a transportation system. It refers to connecting Spoke to road transport for long-distance transport. A hub is a central location that is equipped with a dedicated railway siding and container depot facility in transport assets, while transport from spoke to the hub is via road and hub to the hub via rail.
This model promotes cost efficiency through bulk storage and movement, utilizing the efficiency of the railway siding. This results in a reduction in cost, maintenance and transportation time. This model simplifies operational complexities apart from economic growth, infrastructure creation, and job creation in the country. In addition, the state-of-the-art warehouse has been declared as a sub-market yard, which brings ease of procurement and reduction in logistics costs for the farmers.
