CONCOR signs MoU with BPIPL to operate container terminal at Bhavnagar port

Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bhavnagar Port Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. (BPIPL) on 4^th September, 2025 at New Delhi, to operate and maintain the upcoming Container Terminal at the northside of Bhavnagar Port in Gujarat.

BPIPL has already executed an agreement with the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) in September 2024 for the development of this port infrastructure. Under the agreement, 235 hectares of land has been allotted to BPIPL on a 30-year lease, with a provision for future expansion by an additional 250 hectares.

This port facility is expected to play a crucial role in catering to the logistics needs of Central Gujarat, the Dholera Industrial Belt, and even extend services to customers in the National Capital Region (NCR).

Under the terms of the MoU, CONCOR will act as the Container Terminal Operator. It will be responsible for the operation, management, and marketing of the container terminal. This marks a significant strategic move for CONCOR as it ventures into port operations, aligning with its vision of forward integration. The detailed terms & conditions for the agreement are being finalised.

With its unmatched infrastructure strength, including a pan-India network of terminals and a large fleet of rolling stock, CONCOR is well-positioned to offer reliable, efficient, and cost-effective logistics services.

On this occasion, CMD CONCOR, Sh. Sanjay Swarup noted that this collaboration is expected to provide substantial value addition to customers and further strengthen CONCOR’s leadership in the logistics sector.
