Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) has expanded its domestic logistics footprint with the launch of a new rail-based movement of solar modules from Kanakpura (Jaipur) to Chennai, marking another milestone in its growing portfolio.
The Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Jaipur has already demonstrated its capability in handling solar cargo, having successfully transported four rakes to Karnataka in partnership with TCI and Renew Solar. Building on that momentum, the newly launched service offers a comprehensive first-mile to last-mile logistics solution. Cargo is picked up directly from the Mahindra SEZ manufacturing facility in Jaipur and delivered straight to project sites in Chennai.
The operation utilizes 45 newly designed 40-foot domestic containers developed by CONCOR specifically for light cargo. This rail-based solution is positioned as both eco-friendly and cost-efficient, aligning with the broader push toward reducing carbon emissions in logistics.
Beyond supporting solar manufacturers in Jaipur, the service is also expected to benefit traders in Chennai by enabling efficient return cargo movement using the same container fleet. This two-way logistics optimization enhances asset utilization and reduces empty runs.
With this initiative, CONCOR continues to strengthen its domestic logistics segment while reinforcing its commitment to sustainable and innovative supply chain solutions.
