with Direct Port Entry (DPE) Export containers of M/s TVS Motor Company
facilitated by M/s TVS SCS Global Freight Solutions Ltd from Jolarpet (JTJ) to
Kamarajar Port Ltd, Ennore on November 28, 2024.
Total 29 FEUs (58 TEUs) of M/s TVS Motors bound to African nations
with a mix of auto commodities with an average weight of 20 MT were
loaded from Jolarpet to KPCA.
This event marks a significant step for faster transportation of
containers between Chennai Ports and the catchment areas of Northern Tamil
Nadu, Hosur, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Salem, Bangalore, Southern Karnataka
regions, Mysore etc.
The First Mile connectivity for the movement of M/s TVS Motors was
also carried out by CONCOR owned *LNG vehicles* and this multi-modal
transportation of Road (LNG vehicles) and Rail is a contribution to the Green
Logistics initiatives of GoI and CONCOR.
The entire movement has been a testimony of CONCOR's commitment in
providing a cost effective multi modal logistics option to the trade thereby
providing faster logistics with a congestion free entry into ports and
improving the port efficiencies by reducing the bottlenecks at the port gates.
