Concor services launched in Tirupur

Our Bureau

Coimbatore , Jan. 25

CONTAINER Corporation of India (Concor) commissioned its inland container depot-cum-warehousing services in Tirupur today.

The new Tirupur ICD, Concor's second one in the district, will function from the Southern Railway's old goods-shed building located closer to the railway station.

Concor has also proposed to run special container rake from Tirupur to Tuticorin port once a week from this month to facilitate the faster movement of export cargo from the hosiery town to the southern sea port. The service will leave Tirupur every Sunday night and it will reach Tuticorin port the next day morning.

According to Concor officials, initially the special rake will have 30 flats which will each carry two containers (of twenty equivalent units). Depending upon the demand, the number of flats to be attached to the special rake service will be increased.

The Tirupur ICD will have a full-fledged Customs official formation to undertake the export shipment verification.

Concor is also in the process of constructing new warehouse in Tirupur on the land acquired from the Railway.
