Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) Expands Global Footprint with First Export Shipment

Bengaluru, India – September 23, 2025

Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR), a leading state-owned logistics company, has successfully launched its inaugural export shipment using its own containers. The shipment departed on September 19, 2025, from CONCOR’s Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Whitefield, Bengaluru, en route to Jebel Ali, UAE, via the Chennai Port. (maritimegateway.com)

This milestone underscores CONCOR’s commitment to enhancing India’s multimodal logistics framework and improving efficiency in global supply chains. By utilizing its own containers, CONCOR aims to offer comprehensive end-to-end solutions for exporters, particularly those based in India’s southern industrial hubs.

The company’s strategic focus on first- and last-mile connectivity is further demonstrated by its recent partnership with the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI). In June 2024, CONCOR and SCI signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore collaborative business opportunities. This alliance seeks to leverage each other’s infrastructure and expertise to provide seamless and cost-effective logistics services under a single window. (business-standard.com)

As part of its multimodal logistics strategy, CONCOR is also set to resume coastal shipping services. Initially launched in January 2019, these services were suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resumption aims to offer a cost-effective, faster, and environmentally friendly mode of transportation, enhancing the company’s service portfolio and contributing to the broader trade community.
