This ICD provides the much-needed flexibility to the beleaguered trade in North India in sending their cargoes through ports other than the heavily congested and still much-preferred Nhava Sheva container terminal in Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT).

Given the congestion at Nhava Sheva, the CFS at ICD Dadri helps the trade in North India to consolidate the cargo here rather than pile them up at JNPT and send them through other ports such as Mundra, Pipavav or Visakhapatnam. This gives greater flexibility to the growing Northern India trade in using other ports instead of getting stuck at Nhava Sheva or JNPT.

While the adjoining rail terminal will provide rail link to ports such as Mundra, Kandla,

Pipavav, JNPT/NSICT, Chennai, Vizag and Kolkata, the Dadri terminal also has the

advantage of road movement across major trading centres covering Punjab, Haryana,

Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Rail linkages to the Dadri ICD are

provided through Dadri stations which falls on the New Delhi-Howrah route of the

North Central Railway.

Annexure I

Container Corp. of India – CONCOR

Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR), a mini-ratna enterprise, was set up

in March of the year 1988 and commenced operation from November of the year

1989 taking over the existing network of 7 Inland Container Depots (ICDs) from the

Indian Railways to profitably satisfy the customer's needs for high- quality, cost-

effective logistics services. From its humble beginning, it is now an undisputed

market leader having the largest network of 61 ICDs/CFSs in India offering scheduled

and on demand rapid rail and road services between the hinderland and ports, and

between major metros.

CONCOR had introduced Asia's biggest ICD at Dadri in the year 2003.

In addition to providing inland transport by rail for containers, it has also expanded to

cover management of Ports, air cargo complexes and establishing cold-chain. It has

and will continue to play the role of promoting containerization of India by virtue of

its modern rail wagon fleet, customer friendly commercial practices and extensively

used Information Technology. The company developed multimodal logistics support

for India's International and Domestic containerization and trade. CONCOR's core

business is characterised by three distinct activities, that of a carrier, a terminal

operator, and a warehouse operator. CONCOR handles 2.5m TEU’s/year accounting

for 25% of total for India.
