Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) has marked a significant milestone in strengthening its domestic logistics footprint by positioning its first rake of empty containers from ICD Whitefield, Bengaluru to MAKU Siding in Hubballi, Karnataka.
The operation, carried out on May 2, was executed in collaboration with M/s TCI-CONCOR, with M/s SLR Metallics as the key customer. The MAKU Siding facility is owned by M/s MSPL-AHB.
This strategic move enables the efficient transportation of pig iron using domestic containers from the MSPL-AHB siding to ICPH, enhancing bulk cargo handling capabilities. By integrating rail and containerized logistics, the initiative is expected to bring greater efficiency and reliability to cargo movement.
The development is poised to boost regional supply chains by improving first- and last-mile connectivity, reducing transit time, and promoting seamless multimodal logistics solutions. It also reflects CONCOR’s continued efforts to expand its inland logistics network and support industrial growth across key manufacturing hubs in Karnataka and beyond.
