CONCOR, a Navratna PSU, Signs Strategic Agreement with UltraTech Cement for Bulk Cement Transport

Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR), a Navratna PSU under the Ministry of Railways, has entered into a strategic agreement with M/s UltraTech Cement Ltd., India’s largest cement manufacturer, to transport bulk cement using specialized tank containers. This collaboration is a major step forward in promoting rail-based cargo movement and supporting India's vision of sustainable logistics. Under this collaboration, CONCOR will provide dedicated rakes for the transportation of bulk cement across identified rail corridors. This initiative marks a significant milestone in redefining bulk cement logistics in India. This first-of-its-kind large-scale initiative in the country is designed to promote a modal shift from road to rail, offering a more sustainable, efficient, and reliable alternative for cement transportation. By leveraging Indian Railways' extensive network and CONCOR's proven capabilities in logistics and multimodal transportation, this partnership is expected to streamline cement supply chains, reduce road congestion, lower transportation costs, and significantly cut down carbon emissions. This partnership is expected to set new benchmarks in bulk logistics and open avenues for scalable, green logistics solutions in other sectors as well.
