Container Corporation of India Ltd inks two MoUs with Adani Cement

In a significant stride towards sustainable logistics and green transportation in India, Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR), a Navratna Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Railways, has entered into two strategic Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with M/s Adani Cement, India's leading cement manufacturers. These pioneering MoUs focus on the rail-based transportation of bulk cement using specialized tank containers, marking the one more large-scale initiative of its kind in the country.

Under these MoUs, CONCOR will deploy dedicated container rakes to facilitate the seamless movement of bulk cement across key identified rail corridors.

Scalability: Sets a new benchmark for bulk logistics, paving the way for similar green solutions in other industrial sectors.

The MoUs were formally signed on October 24, 2025, in New Delhi, in the presence of Shri Sanjay Swarup, Chairman & Managing Director, CONCOR and Shri Vinod Bahety CEO, Adani Cement along with directors and senior officers from both organizations.
