CenterPoint Intermodal Center (CIC) Largest master-planned inland port in North America. Situated on ~6500 acres just 40 +/-miles southwest of downtown Chicago 3 Million Containers handled in 2012
ICD Tughlakhabad Largest ICD In india Situated on ~44 Hectares of Land in NCR Region of India 450,000 Containers handled in 2012
Situated in NCR Region of India • 4 full length rail lines • 10,000 sqm covered Export warehouse • 6,000 sqm covered Import warehouse • Two bonded warehouses of 8500 sqm- 3,000 sqm dedicated for LCL export cargo • Open stack space for 12000 loaded TEUs and 2000 empty TEUs • Separate empty parks for stacking of 10000 + empty TEUs • 2 hectare parking area for parking of approx. 750+ trailer
Setting up new ICDs in North India Region – The Need & Challenges Future of ICD’s in India Presentation by Mr. Dhruv Kotak, J M Baxi Group
Constraints with the Current System • Transportation delays due to city traffic congestion. • Trailer idle time due to wait at city entry points for roads to open. • Severe space shortage in ICDs leading to delays and inconvenience to CHAs • Severe warehousing space shortage
Choosing Appropriate Location for Future Proof ICD • Capacity • Distance from the highway • Proximity to Rail Line • Capacity of Rail Line • Length of Rail Line • Proximity to Dedicated Freight Corridor and National Highway • Land Mass (100 to 110 Acres required to handle large trains) • Scale of Capacity should be at least 100 Acres
Productivity • Modern Cargo Handling Equipments • State of art terminal management system • Robotics and Automation wherever possible and feasible • Modern Warehousing Design • Fast Turnaround time with the help of Rail
Multipurpose Cargo Handling Systems • Major Hinterland Creation in Private Space • A quasi space having container handling capacity (ICD) • Future terminals will not only have ICD / CFS but will also accommodate Agri Parks, Cold chains, Bulk Handling Facilities, Collateral Warehousing, Liquid Logistic Facilities (Liquid Silos)
Ecosystem Development • Ecosystem needs to be developed around container terminals which will supplement all the other activities. • This will also bring improvement and efficiency in cost per unit
Hub + Spoke Development • Dedicated freight corridor will create ecosystem for Hub and Spoke model • It will provide tremendous scale benefits • For creation of efficient hub and spoke model we need there is a need to creation separate category of rail operators. • Big Train rail / Hub Operators which will connect to Hub Terminals • Spoke Rail Operators which will connect to hinterland. • There is a need to create this difference and a different plan need to be created for the same. • Create 3rd Category of rail operators who will carry others commodities i.e. bulk & break bulk directly to ports or via hub ports / terminals.
We have it all at DICT, our pilot project at Sonepat. State of art Inland Container Deport Cum Logistics Park with facilities as below and much more:- • Container Repairing facility • Latest Trailers • Liquid Tank Farm Facility • Controlled temperature • warehousing area • Mechanized Bagging Plant • Grain Silos • Scrap Handling Yards • Total Area – 65 Acres • Warehousing Space • Future Warehousing Planned • Reefer Plug Points • Rail Handling Lines • Handling Equipment’s like Rubber Tyre Gantry Cranes, Reach Stackers, Hydra , Cranes , Fork Lifts.
DICT – Location Advantage • Cargo coming from “North Direction” to Delhi passes DICT before entering Delhi or any of the NCR ICD’s. • Cargo coming from “North West” or “North East” side of Delhi can be routed through DICT without adding any cost and with a considerable reduction in turnaround of trailers. • Access roads being used for First & Last mile are much better from DICT when compared to other NCR ICD’s. • “Kundli Manesar Palwal”(KMP) & “Eastern Peripheral Corridor” (EPC)are two expressways encircling NCR and under construction. • DICT lies at a location approx. 35 Kms from KMP passing point at Kundli. • Once operational a lot of the traffic identified in earlier slides will not be permitted inside Delhi.
BOXTRANS • A Category 3 license from Indian Railways allows Boxtrans to offer EXIM services from locations of Pipavav, Mundra, Chennai/ Ennore, Vizag and Kochi ports, their hinterland and Domestic services across India • Boxtrans runs Container Rakes linking hinterland with gateway ports, commercial & trade centers and provides logistics support for containerized cargo. Boxtrans owns rakes and the locomotives are provided by the Railways
