Ministry of Railways' public sector unit, Container Corporation of India
Ltd (CONCOR) undertook its maiden coastal journey on Thursday from
Kandla Port to Tuticorin Port.
The voyage for the PSU was flagged
off by two union ministers, Nitin Gadkari and Piyush Goyal, from here
at the Transport Bhawan through remote control.
"The Railways
has introduced many new reforms in the last four-and-a-half years. This
is another first in the series of reforms," said Railways Minister
Piyush Goyal.
Among the reforms, he cited the production of
Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches, leading to "replacement of all old
coaches" and government's undertaking of electrification of the entire
railway network.
"The new indigenous built Train 18, under Make in India initiative, will soon be flagged off on New Delhi-Varanasi route.
"This
new service started today by CONCOR will also be very profitable for
the freight movement to send goods to different locations in a
cost-effective manner and will also reduce the load on railways and
road," he added.
Minister of Shipping Nitin Gadkari said: "I'm glad to see this modal shift in the logistics chain."
