The Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR), a Navratna PSU under the Ministry of Railways, has signed a strategic agreement with UltraTech Cement Ltd., India’s largest cement producer, to transport bulk cement using specialized tank containers—a first-of-its-kind large-scale initiative in India’s cement logistics sector.
The partnership aims to shift bulk cement movement from road to rail, aligning with India’s broader goal of promoting sustainable and efficient freight transport. Under the agreement, CONCOR will deploy dedicated rakes for cement transportation along key rail corridors, enabling a more predictable, lower-emission, and cost-efficient logistics network.
