CONCOR to launch double-stack container Train from Dadri to Varnama

According to Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR) CMD Sanjay Swaroop, this will allow 180 containers (TEU) to be transported on a single train, resulting in a quicker and less expensive transfer of commodities.

At the FGI Business Center, Sanjay Swaroop spoke at a symposium on supply chain management issues and challenges for the Federation of Gujarat Industries (FGI). By December 2025, he said, the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) between Varnama and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) will be finished. From Varnama, the goods will be transported by a single-stack container train on the Indian Railway line. From JNPT to Varnama, a single-stack container train will also arrive. A double-stack container train will then transport the containers from Varnama to Dadri, improving supply chain management effectiveness.

The 2,843 km of dedicated freight corridors spanning seven states would be essential for the quick transportation of products, according to Shobhit Bhatnagar, director of the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL).
