CONCOR Launches Special Containers for Bulk Cement

Container Corporation of India Ltd (CONCOR) has introduced specialised tank containers for transporting bulk cement in loose form, marking a transformative step in Indian cement logistics. This is the first time such containers are being used in the country for cement movement.

The initial shipment using these containers has successfully commenced from My Home Cement Siding (MMHM) at Mellacheruvu, Andhra Pradesh, to CONCOR’s Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Whitefield, Bangalore. This development underscores CONCOR’s continued focus on providing innovative and sustainable logistics solutions across key sectors.

These purpose-built containers are designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce reliance on traditional bagged transport, and promote a shift towards eco-friendly bulk movement. Their deployment is expected to significantly cut carbon emissions and support India’s push for greener, multimodal logistics systems.

By capitalising on its robust infrastructure and rail network, CONCOR aims to offer cost-effective, safe, and environmentally responsible transport solutions that enhance supply chain efficiency for cement manufacturers.
