1. Setting up an international freight handling business in JV with some foreign partner.
2. Setting up of the larger number of CFS (Container fright stations) to take the advantage of burgeoning local business.
The logistic business is directly related to the overall growth in the net export and import of the country plus the net available infrastructure to handle those volumes through an integrated multi model based transaction (logistic) system. After the grater emphasis given by Indian Govt for infrastructure development in the country, not only through the old established container handling ports, but also through the new ports, viz., the ports of Mundra, Pipavav & Vizag (VCTPL) good surge in the business volumes is being registered. This is likely to result in further increased level of tonnage of container traffic in the near future.
In order to meet the net demand owing to surge in the international and domestic export/ import business. CONCOR has established two new terminals at Durgapur (West Bengal) and Ratlam (Madhya Pradesh) in FY2010. Additionally to increase its penetration, expansion works were commissioned at Kota, White-field, Dadri, Malanpur, Phillaur, Khemli, Kanpur and Fathua.
