AHMEDABAD: Adani Logistics, a subsidiary of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ), has achieved another significant operational milestone with the successful receipt of its first polymer rake at the Inland Container Depot (ICD) Virochannagar from Hindustan Mittal Energy Limited’s (HMEL) facility at Bathinda, Punjab.
The inaugural movement marks an important step in expanding Adani Logistics’ capabilities in handling specialised industrial cargo and strengthening rail-based connectivity between major production centres and markets across India.
The successful movement of polymer cargo from Bathinda to Virochannagar demonstrates the company’s ability to provide integrated multimodal logistics solutions, connecting industrial manufacturing hubs with strategically located inland logistics facilities. It also reflects the growing role of rail transportation in supporting efficient, reliable and organised movement of industrial raw materials across the country.
Polymers are important raw materials for several industries, including packaging, automotive, construction, textiles and consumer goods. Efficient transportation of such cargo is therefore essential for maintaining supply chain continuity and supporting the requirements of industrial customers.
The latest achievement further strengthens the operational capabilities of ICD Virochannagar, positioning the facility as an important component of Adani Logistics’ expanding inland logistics network. Strategically located in Gujarat, the facility is part of the company’s broader initiative to develop integrated logistics infrastructure that connects production centres, consumption markets and gateway ports.
Adani Logistics operates a nationwide network of multimodal logistics parks, supported by dedicated rail services, road transportation, warehousing and cargo-handling capabilities. Its integrated logistics platform is designed to provide customers with end-to-end supply chain solutions across diverse cargo segments, including containers, bulk, industrial products, automobiles and agricultural commodities.
The successful receipt of the first polymer rake from HMEL Bathinda underscores APSEZ’s continued focus on expanding its logistics portfolio beyond traditional port operations and developing efficient inland transportation networks.
This milestone also reinforces the importance of multimodal transportation in improving supply chain efficiency, facilitating industrial growth and strengthening India’s domestic freight movement ecosystem.
Through continued investments in integrated logistics infrastructure and enhanced rail connectivity, APSEZ is advancing its vision of building a comprehensive transport and logistics platform that supports India’s growing industrial and trade requirements.
