Container Corporation of India Ltd begins DPD rail movement at JNPT, which will aim at decarbonisation Container Corporation of India Ltd (CONCOR) has started evacuating direct port delivery (DPD) containers landing at JNPA- Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority by rail in a first-of-its-kind initiative aimed at reducing load on terminal gates, offering a sustainable alternative to road transport and reducing emissions. The biggest impact of the initiative is on decarbonisation.  Under the DPD scheme, import containers are delivered directly to pre-approved clients at the port itself instead of waiting in a container freight station (CFS) located outside for clearance, which reduces the cargo dwell time and cost for shippers. . . . . #mpco #concor #JPNT #decarbonisation #exim #importcontainer #CFS #cargo #logistics #freightforwarding #supplychain #cargonews #logisticsnews #concornews

Indo-Bangladesh trade needs containerization as it can be the easiest way to decongest the border Land check points. The custom activities other than seal verification can than be shifted to hinterland instead of complete formalities to be done at border only. This can bring down the cost of unnecessary handling at border ports and also reduce the time of detention of goods. We need to support Bangladesh to move to new ecosystem which can be very beneficial to Bangladesh
