<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">The

landscape of Indian logistics is undergoing a radical environmental

transformation, as highlighted by Shri Sanjay Swarup, Chairman and Managing

Director of the Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR), during his

keynote address at the Maritime &amp; Logistics Conclave 2026 in New Delhi.

Speaking before a high-profile audience organized by the Container Freight

Station Association of India (CFSAI) and the National Association of Container

Freight Stations (NACFS), Swarup presented a comprehensive blueprint for

"Co-Creation of Resilient Logistics Infrastructure." This vision

places ecological responsibility at the heart of industrial resilience,

suggesting that the future of the nation’s supply chain is inextricably linked

to its ability to decarbonize operations while maintaining peak efficiency.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Central to

this green transition is CONCOR’s aggressive move toward Liquefied Natural Gas

(LNG) as a primary fuel source for heavy-duty transport. The company has

already reached a significant milestone with the deployment of 230 LNG-powered

trucks, a move designed to drastically reduce particulate matter and nitrogen

oxide emissions compared to traditional diesel fleets. To ensure the viability

of this transition, CONCOR is not merely acting as a consumer but as an

infrastructure architect. By establishing specialized, in-house fueling

stations at key hubs like Khatuwas and the upcoming facility at Dadri, the

corporation is securing a self-sufficient energy loop that minimizes downtime

and optimizes the long-haul movement of goods across critical corridors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Strategic

collaboration remains a cornerstone of this sustainable roadmap, underscored by

a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with GAIL (India) Limited.

This partnership is set to accelerate the development of LNG infrastructure

nationwide, leveraging GAIL’s expertise in gas distribution to expand the reach

of clean fuel to remote logistics nodes. By building this network, CONCOR and

GAIL are effectively removing the "range anxiety" often associated

with alternative fuels in the logistics sector, encouraging a broader

industry-wide adoption of cleaner energy standards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Beyond the

focus on LNG, the corporation is pivoting toward full electrification to

address the "last mile" and terminal-side emissions. The induction of

electric vehicles into the fleet, paired with the implementation of advanced

Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) systems, marks a shift toward automated,

zero-emission cargo handling. Swarup’s address made it clear that CONCOR’s

strategy is multi-modal; by combining the efficiency of rail with the

sustainability of LNG and electric road transport, the public sector giant is

setting a new benchmark for "Green Logistics" in India. This holistic

approach ensures that as India’s economy grows, its carbon footprint does not

necessarily follow the same upward trajectory, fulfilling a commitment to both

modern industry and environmental stewardship.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
