BACKGROUND OF THE FORMATION

OF THE COMPANY

Ever since globalization transformed the transport sector, national boundaries have

become permeable to penetration by trade, creating the need for flexible transport

solutions. Intermodalism and containerization were the by-products of this era and

were poised to metamorphsize transport of "general cargo", moving it 'seamlessly'

through sea and land arteries. Forty years ago, the physical process of exporting or

importing goods was arduous. Goods needed to be transported by lorry to the port,unloaded into a warehouse and then reloaded into the ship 'piece by piece'.

Malcolm McLean's idea of containerization changed the basics of cargo transport by

standardizing the dimensions of the container and simultaneously improving the

productivity of ports by mechanizing handling of container-carrying 'cellular' ships

and reducing their handling to a few hours only. Unitization helped elimination of

multiple handling of cargo and made transfers quick, cheap and easy. Ascontainerization came to stand for 'cargo care', it grew by leaps and bounds the world

over.

Indian Railway's strategic initiative to containerize cargo transport put India on themulti-modal map for the first time in 1966. Given the continental distances in India

(almost 3000 km from North to South and East to West), rail transport could be the

cheaper option for all cargo over medium and long distances, especially if the cost of

inter-modal transfers could be reduced. Containerized multi-modal door-to-door

transport provided the ideal solution to this problem. It was this idea that saw the

Indian Railways entering the market for moving door-to-door domestic cargo inspecial DSO containers starting in 1966.

Though the first ISO marine container had been handled in India at Cochin as early as

1973, it was in 1981 that the first ISO container was moved inland by the Indian

Railways to India's first Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Bangaluru, also managed by

the Indian Railways.

Expansion of the network to 7 ICDs by 1988 saw increase in the handling ofcontainers, and along the way, a strong view had emerged that there was a need to

set up a separate pro-active organization for promoting and managing the growth of

containerization in India.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES AND RESOUCES

1.) Handling Equipment

CONCOR has generally followed a policy of organizing specialized cargo/container

handling services by deployment of state-of-the-art equipment on contractual basis.

2.) Wagons

After starting operations with make-shift container wagons that were provided by the

Indian Railways, CONCOR started acquiring state-of-the-art high speed container flats

(BLC wagons), capable of running at 100 kmph. Since last 9 years. These have been

progressively introduced on major container circuits in the last three years, as a resultof which transit times have reduced and service quality has shown considerable

improvement. 7200 such wagons are already deployed, and CONCOR plans to add to

that fleet every year to cater to the growth in business as well as to replace outworn

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES AND RESOUCES

3.) INFOTECH

IT forms the backbone of any service industry, where information correlates directly

with improved levels of efficiency.

A primary component ofCONCOR's overall business strategy has been the

development of an advanced information system. A container and cargo logistics

information system went online at Company's Inland Container Depot at Tughlakabad

in 1994 and most other facilities have been equipped with computer systems to

monitor traffic movement and maintain inventory records.

CONCOR is using various online applications like Export/Import Terminal

Management System (ETMS), Domestic Terminal Management System (DTMS), Oracle

Financials-ERP, HR-Payroll system etc. which are based on Centralized architecture

deployed through Citrix environment and running over VSAT based hybrid network.

Facility for electronic filing (e-filing) of commercial documents of CCLS(Container and

Cargo Logistic System) has been provided to customers. This facility enables

customers like Shipping lines, Importers, Exporters and CHA's to file the required

documents online for process and take necessary printouts of processed output

through web from anywhere without physically coming to ICD at Tughlakabad. Digital

Signatures have been integrated with e-filing on CCLS to make the system more

secure.
