NISAA Executive Committee meets CONCOR CMD Ajit Kumar Panda, reaffirms commitment to strengthening North India’s EXIM Trade Ecosystem
NEW DELHI : The Executive Committee of the North India Shippers Association (NISAA) met Mr. Ajit Kumar Panda, Chairman & Managing Director of Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR), on 13 August 2026, to congratulate him on assuming charge as the newly appointed CMD and extend its best wishes for a successful tenure.
During the meeting, Mr. Sasi Nair, President, NISAA, conveyed the Association’s continued commitment to supporting and cooperating with CONCOR in strengthening India’s logistics and EXIM trade ecosystem. The interaction provided an opportunity to discuss key industry priorities and the evolving requirements of exporters, importers, logistics service providers and other stakeholders across North India.
NISAA and CONCOR share a common objective of facilitating efficient, reliable and competitive EXIM trade in North India, with a particular focus on improving multimodal connectivity, strengthening containerised cargo movement and addressing operational challenges faced by the trade and logistics industry.
The discussions also underscored the importance of close coordination between industry stakeholders and CONCOR to enhance the efficiency of inland container logistics. With North India serving as a major manufacturing, consumption and export hub, seamless connectivity between Inland Container Depots (ICDs), Multimodal Logistics Parks, ports, rail networks and industrial clusters remains critical to reducing logistics costs and improving supply-chain efficiency.
NISAA expressed its willingness to work closely with CONCOR on issues concerning the trade fraternity, including better rail connectivity, efficient cargo evacuation, improved terminal services, streamlined logistics processes and enhanced facilitation for EXIM cargo. The Association also highlighted the value of regular stakeholder engagement in identifying practical solutions and supporting the growth of India’s containerised trade.
The meeting was attended by senior officials of CONCOR and members of the NISAA Executive Committee, reflecting the importance of continued industry–operator collaboration in strengthening the country’s logistics infrastructure.
NISAA looks forward to maintaining a constructive and collaborative engagement with CONCOR under the leadership of Mr. Ajit Kumar Panda, and to collectively contributing towards a more efficient, integrated and progressive logistics and trade ecosystem for North India and the country as a whole.
The NISAA Executive Committee once again congratulated Mr. Ajit Kumar Panda on his new responsibility and conveyed its best wishes for a successful and impactful tenure at CONCOR.
