CONCOR to transport FMCG cargo to increase domestic market share

The Container Corporation of India Limited is set to transport fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) cargo to increase its domestic market share. The company has experienced a growth in domestic market share of approximately 25 per cent over the past two years. It has introduced 12 feet high containers, addressing the load ability constraints associated with standard 20 feet containers. This step aims to reduce per-unit costs for customers. The company has ordered 1,000 of the 12 feet high containers, with 180 already in operation and the remaining expected to commence commercial operations soon. Moreover, the multi-modal logistics park Paradip, one of the newest terminals of the Container Corporation of India was inaugurated on November 27, 2023. It has been developed on over 100 acres of land allotted by the Paradip Port Authority on lease. The MMLP is equipped with seven railway lines, warehouses, modern handling machines, in-motion weighbridges, dedicated shunting locomotive, besides many other ancillary facilities.
