This weekly service provides the fastest and most competitive offering to exporters/importers in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Northern Tamil Nadu and the fastest connectivity to the ports of Port Klang, Singapore, China, Busan, US West Coast and European markets.
KPCT has always been at the forefront in the Indian port sector by providing state-of-the-art facilities, customer-centric services and unparalleled operational efficiencies, which is improving the competitiveness of the Indian ex-im community in the global trade. Several mainline carriers have started services from KPCT as the support of exporters and importers to the terminal has grown exponentially.
