Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: In a landmark development for the Indian logistics and cement sectors, Container Corporation of India Ltd (CONCOR), a state-owned logistics PSU, has launched specialized tank containers to transport bulk cement in loose form—a move set to revolutionize cement logistics in the country.

This initiative marks the first deployment of such containers in India, signifying a strategic shift toward efficient, sustainable, and modern transportation of cement via the rail network.

First Movement Commences from Andhra Pradesh to Bengaluru

According to the official press release, the real-time operational rollout of these tank containers began from My Home Cement Siding (MMHM) located in Mellacheruvu, Andhra Pradesh, to CONCOR’s Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Whitefield, Bengaluru.

This successful movement is a milestone in India’s multimodal logistics journey, reinforcing the growing preference for rail-based freight in heavy industries.

Game-Changer for the Cement Industry

The specialized tank containers are custom-designed to carry cement in bulk, loose form, as opposed to the traditional method of transporting cement in bags. This innovation is expected to significantly:

  • Enhance efficiency of loading/unloading
  • Reduce material wastage
  • Improve safety in handling
  • Lower carbon emissions from logistics operations

The transition from bagged to bulk transport through railways supports India’s broader green logistics and decarbonization goals.

Driving Sustainability and Operational Efficiency

With this initiative, CONCOR is not only empowering the cement industry but also reaffirming its role as a pioneer of multimodal and environmentally conscious logistics solutions.

The use of bulk tank containers reduces the need for excessive packaging and enables a seamless interface between road and rail, paving the way for an integrated logistics ecosystem.
