The first refrigerated container train of the Container Corporation of India was flagged off from Hyderabad to Mumbai port.
This marks the start of regular reefer container train operations from Hyderabad to different ports in the country. The first consignment consisted of seven refrigerated containers containing temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products.
In order to develop reefer movement from here, Concor has put in place infrastructure such as plug-in points at its Inland Container Depot at Sanathnagar and high-capacity diesel generator sets in the train to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the transit to Mumbai. V. Kalyana Rama, Chief General Manager, Concor, said the number of refrigerated containers will be increased and the current weekly service will be expanded to bi-weekly or more depending on the demand. He said the service also expects to attract temperature-sensitive cargo such as fruits and meat products.
