Agreement Aims to Reshape Cement Logistics

This partnership aims to shift a significant portion of cement transportation from roads to rail, reducing reliance on diesel trucks and enhancing the reliability of transportation logistics. As part of this collaboration, CONCOR will operate dedicated rakes fitted with specialised tank containers to haul cement between major consumption and industrial centers.

This rail solution is expected to yield more consistent transit times, enhanced supply chain visibility, and reduced logistics exposure to risk factors associated with road transport routes. It also demonstrates a continuation of India's broader effort towards decarbonizing the freight sector by lowering overall emissions and relieving strain on the road network.

Enhancing Supply Chain Efficiency

This initiative aims to enhance UltraTech Cement's logistics operations, thereby increasing efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, and improving transit time performance. Leveraging Indian Railways' expanding network of railroads and CONCOR's capabilities with multimodal logistics, UltraTech can provide more reliable delivery services to remote markets. This strategic model optimises cost-effectiveness while promoting infrastructure sustainability. 

Additionally, unlike a truckload trailer scheme, the model is also better positioned for the longer-term benefits of scalability. Predictable arrival and departure schedules and prescribed rail routes could pave the way for precedent-shifting transportation of other bulk commodities such as steel, fertilizer, and petroleum products.
