Kenya Railways is set to launch a same-day parcel delivery service along the Nairobi and Mombasa corridor using the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).

• The new venture aims to diversify revenue streams and capitalize on the growing demand for logistics services, fueled by e-commerce.
• Key organization involved is Kenya Railways, the state corporation operating the SGR.
• This move positions Kenya Railways to compete directly with established courier firms, potentially offering a faster and more reliable alternative to road transport.
