CONCOR, Adani Cement Sign MoUs for Green Rail Logistics

State-owned Container Corporation of India Ltd (CONCOR) has signed two strategic Memorandums of Understanding with Adani Cement to enable the rail-based transportation of bulk cement using specialised tank containers. The agreements represent a significant step in transforming cement logistics through sustainable, large-scale rail solutions.

Under the MoUs, CONCOR will deploy dedicated container rakes to transport bulk cement across key rail corridors. The collaboration combines the reach of Indian Railways with CONCOR’s multimodal logistics capability, encouraging a shift from road to rail to boost efficiency, reliability and environmental sustainability within cement supply chains.

The initiative is expected to deliver major benefits. Environmentally, it will help reduce carbon emissions by cutting road usage, supporting India’s net-zero ambitions and the green freight focus of the National Logistics Policy. Operationally, it will lower logistics costs, ease road congestion and improve supply-chain resilience for Adani Cement’s nationwide network. The partnership also sets a benchmark for scalable bulk-transport solutions that can be replicated in other industrial sectors.

Sanjay Swarup, CMD of CONCOR, said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to innovative and eco-friendly logistics models. Vinod Bahety, CEO of Adani Cement, noted that the agreement supports the company’s goal of becoming the lowest-cost producer while advancing its commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050, in alignment with India’s COP26 targets.

Shares of Container Corporation of India Ltd closed at Rs 536.95, up 0.41 per cent on the BSE.
