Defence / High-Altitude Logistics
The Indian Army’s Gajraj Corps has operationalised an indigenous monorail logistics system at an altitude of 16,000 feet in the Kameng Himalayas of Arunachal Pradesh. This innovation marks a significant leap in high-altitude supply operations, offering a stable and efficient transport mechanism in one of the most challenging terrains in the Eastern Himalayas.
Conceptualised, engineered, and deployed indigenously, the system ensures uninterrupted delivery of essential supplies to forward posts that often remain cut off due to heavy snow, harsh terrain, and rapidly changing weather. It strengthens operational readiness and enhances logistical resilience for troops stationed in remote high-altitude areas.
