The collaboration focuses on transporting bulk cement using specialized tank containers, marking a major milestone in India’s transition towards sustainable, rail-based logistics.
As part of the agreement, CONCOR will deploy dedicated rakes across key rail corridors to facilitate bulk cement movement. This initiative is designed to shift large-scale cement transportation from road to rail, offering a more efficient and environmentally friendly logistics solution.

The partnership is expected to set new benchmarks in bulk logistics and inspire scalable green logistics initiatives across other sectors.
