NEW DELHI — Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR) has launched a re-engineered export freight service linking Inland Container Depot (ICD) Dhandarikalan in Ludhiana directly to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) via its Multi-Modal Logistics Park (MMLP) in Dadri.
The revised operational route integrates Punjab’s export manufacturing hubs directly into high-capacity rail lines, cutting turnaround times for overseas trade shipments.
Freight Routing & Infrastructure Integration
-
Service Flag-Off: The first container train under the modernized routing model was dispatched from ICD Dhandarikalan on August 29, 2026.
-
Western DFC Utilization: Export cargo consolidated at Dadri MMLP gains immediate access to daily scheduled container train runs operating along the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) straight to JNPT.
-
Support for Regional Trade: Significantly enhances logistical efficiency and schedule reliability for Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) consignments originating from small and medium enterprises across Punjab.
-
Gateway Optimization: Reduces dwell time and transit delays for North Indian exporters by bypassing traditional rail bottlenecks in favor of dedicated heavy-haul freight channels.
