As a further step towards ensuring sufficient availability of empty containers to the trade to cater their export commitments and mitigate the imbalance of import-export in trade, CONCOR is pleased to introduce the following volume-based rebate on rail freight for repositioning of empty containers from various Gateway Ports/Portside CFSs to various hinterland terminals w.e.f. 01.09.2021 to 31.03.2022 :
- The existing scheme of repositioning of empty containers from various Gateway Ports to hinterland terminals with a rebate of 50% on rail freight will continue till 31.03.2022. The scheme has now been extended for repositioning of empty containers from various portside CONCOR CFSs to other ICDs also for export purpose.
- The shipping lines offering more than 15,000 TEUs of empty containers per month under the scheme will be given a rebate of 100% on the rail freight.
- The shipping lines offering more than 10,000 TEUs upto 15,000 TEUs of empty containers per month under the scheme will be given a rebate of 75% on the rail freight.
This would facilitate in availability of containers, boosting exports and reducing logistic cost for all stakeholders.
