The Dronagiri
facility is an important cargo-handling node supporting EXIM and domestic
containerised cargo movements in the Mumbai region. CONCOR’s Dronagiri Node,
commissioned in March 2003, is spread across approximately 59 acres and has an
annual handling capacity of around 200,000 TEUs. The terminal serves a wide catchment area
covering Mumbai, Pune, Aurangabad, Vapi, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, supporting
the movement of containerised cargo across key industrial and commercial
centres. During his visit, Panda
reviewed the terminal’s operational activities and interacted with the Mumbai
Cluster team. Discussions and observations during the visit focused on
operational efficiency, terminal management, customer-oriented services and the
effective integration of rail-based freight movement with the broader logistics
network. The visit underscores CONCOR’s
continued focus on strengthening its terminal infrastructure and improving the
efficiency and reliability of multimodal freight transportation, particularly
through greater utilisation of rail-linked container logistics.
