CONCOR launches Container Train service Shalimar to JNPT
The service assumes even greater importance in the backdrop of the overall shortage of liner containers in the country in general, and in the eastern side of the country in particular, CONCOR mentioned.
New Delhi: CONCOR launches Container Train service from Container Corporation of India Ltd. Shalimar to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust - JNPT known as Nhava Sheva Port, the largest container port in India paving the way ahead for exporters resulting in growth in export from the eastern part of the country.
Container Corporation of India Limited, a Navratna Public Sector Undertaking under the Indian Ministry of Railways. Incorporated in March 1988 under the Companies Act, CONCOR commenced operations in November 1989 taking over an existing network of seven inland container depots from Indian Railways.
CONCOR mentioned in its statement, "The inaugural run would encourage other exporters, resulting in growth in export from the eastern part of the country." The service assumes even greater importance in the backdrop of the overall shortage of liner containers in the country in general, and in the eastern side of the country in particular, it added.
The exporters of this region have been affected by the increasing cost of shipping from the ports of the East Coast. Concor’s introduction of this rake would bring much-awaited relief to the exporters by enabling them to compete in the global market despite a Covid-induced adverse climate, it further said.
