NEW DELHI: In a significant step towards strengthening India’s export logistics network, Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR) has announced the introduction of a weekly scheduled train service for export containers from Kanpur (ICDG) to Mundra Port (MDCC), Gujarat.
The new rail service is aimed at providing exporters and trade partners in and around Kanpur with a reliable, time-bound and cost-efficient transportation solution for moving export containers to one of India’s major container gateways on the western coast.
According to CONCOR’s announcement, the service commenced on 11 November 2026, with the first train scheduled to be flagged off on 18 November 2026. The train will operate every Wednesday, offering exporters a regular and predictable rail connectivity option for their export cargo movements to Mundra Port.
The introduction of this dedicated weekly service is expected to facilitate smoother cargo evacuation from the Kanpur region, improve access to international shipping services through Mundra Port and support greater efficiency across the export supply chain.
The initiative is particularly significant for exporters seeking dependable inland transportation solutions and improved connectivity with major seaports. By strengthening the rail-based movement of export containers, CONCOR aims to offer a seamless EXIM logistics solution while supporting cost-efficient and timely cargo transportation.
As a Navratna Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Railways, CONCOR continues to play an important role in developing integrated rail-based logistics infrastructure and facilitating India’s domestic and international trade.
The Kanpur–Mundra weekly scheduled train service represents another step towards improving hinterland connectivity, expanding exporters’ logistics options and strengthening the integration of India’s inland markets with global trade routes.
