Inland Container Depot Tughlakabad is a common user facility with public authority equipped with fixed installation and offering services for handling and temporary storage of import / export laden and empty container carried under customs transit by any applicable mode of transport placed under Customs control. All activities related to clearance of goods for home consumption, warehousing, re-export for onward transit and outright export transshipment, take place from such stations.

The port caters to the need of importers and exporters based in Northern India. It is spread over 44 hectares of land. It has three storied Administrative block housing Offices of Customs, CONCOR, Bank, Shipping Lines, CHAs and Surveyors. Four full length rail lines are available in the Customs area which bring the containers by train from Gateway ports such as Mumbai, Nhava Sheva, Chennai, besides bringing the containers by road from other ports such as Haldia, Calcutta and Kandla, etc. ICD, TKD is equipped with most modern facilities such as rail mounted gantry of 40 metric empty lifting capacity, rubber tyre diesel powered cranes, billoties and lift trucks, etc. Twocovered sheds, one for import and another for export with a total area of 16,000 sq. mts. has been provided in the Customs area for stuffing and de-stuffing of import and export goods. With these facilities, ICD, TKD, New Delhi, has developed into the largest hub of multi-modal transport in the Indian sub-continent.

After cadre restructuring on 15.10.2014 and trifurcation of erstwhile ICD Tughlakabad, this location has two Commissionerate:-

1. ICD, Tughlakabad (Import)

2. ICD, Tughlakabad (Export)

The custodian for these two Commissionerates is Container Corporation of India (CONCOR).

STORAGE YARD OPERATION

In storage yard, the yard is divided into three parts. The first part is the main storage areawhere shuttle trucks move containers from/to the rail side. The storage area has 5 blocks, and each block contains 7 rows and 72 columns except the first and the last blocks which contain 4 rows and 72 columns, and 7 rows 70 columns respectively. TMGC serve the main storage yard area as shown in Figure 3.. Technical information of TMGC are given in Appendix B. Containers can be loaded unloaded reshuffled, and staked on the top each other up to 5 storey high. There are some constraints which impose a sequence to be repeated in storing containers (e.g. size, weight, port of distinction, series of distinctive characteristics such as hazard class and the kind of goods transported).

VALUE CHAIN

INTRODUCTORY SESSION:An introductory session was conducted by honourable IRS Commissioner Mr. Prashant Jhaand he patiently took us through the entire process of Customs EDI. He introduced us all to theCustoms New IT Infrastructure which appears as follows:

Aspect 1:

Next, we were educated on how the Custom Application process has been simplified togreat extend through digitization.

Aspect 2:

ICEGATE: e-filing and e-payments for trade, carriers and custodians; message exchange withbanks, DGFT, RBI, Ports etc, document status tracking and information dissemination.

ICES: Online appraisal and clearance of Bills of Entry, Shipping bills, handling of vesselmanifests, bank payments, DGFT licenses

RMS: System assesses risk in each bill of entry to facilitate trade and ensure that Customsinterventions are only focused on high-risk transactions

Aspect 3: Benefits of ICD TKD Concentration point for long distance cargos and their unitization Service as a transit facility ICD TKD also offers fully computerised import and export documentation.

Close to the customs area are four railway lines on which CONCOR runs its daily trainservices – nearly 11 – from ICD TKD to three primary ports, JNPT in Mumbai andMundra Port and Pipavav Port in Gujarat.

The depot also has an ambulance permanently stationed inside, in case ofemergencies.

Custom clearance facility available Reduce level of demurrage and pilferage No custom clearance required at gateway port Issuance of through Bill of Lading by Shipping lines Reduced level of empty container movement Reduced Inventory cost

Aspect 4: Current ChallengeICD Tughlakabad-JNPT corridor is currently facing severe capacity constraints with

wagon deployment touching 140 per cent and which may go as high as 180 per centin next few years. ICD Tughlakabad is the weak link in the container transportationsystem in the country.

ICD TKD is clogged at all times. This leads to delays and thus, adversely impacts thebusinesses.

No separate corridor for the movement of vehicles to and from the depot.Trucks aren’t allowed to leave the premises during the day in order to avoid

disruption to city traffic

WHAT WE SAW THERE

1. A rubber-tyred gantry crane in operation at ICD TKD. The depot has six rubbertyredgantry cranes to help in loading/unloading

2. A reach stacker in operation at ICD TKD. The depot has 21 such stackers, whichensure efficient utilisation of space

3. TKD BLC Wagon Depot & AMM Store

4. Rail mounted gantry crane at CONCOR

5. Container movement at ICD TKD Port

6. Storage yard in CONCORD

ICD TUGLAKABAD PORT VISIT -MULTIMODAL LOGISTICS MODEL

Ever since globalization transformed the transport sector, national boundaries have become permeable to penetration by trade, creating the need for flexible transport solutions. intermodalism and containerization were the by-products of this era and were poised to metamorphosize transport of "general cargo", moving it 'seamlessly' through sea and land arteries. Forty years ago, the physical process of exporting or importing goods was arduous. Goods needed to be transported by lorry to the port, unloaded into a warehouse and thenreloaded into the ship 'piece by piece'.

Malcolm McLean's idea of containerization changed the basics of cargo transport by standardizing the dimensions of the container and simultaneously improving the productivity of ports by mechanizing handling of container carrying 'cellular' ships and reducing their handling to a few hours only. Unitization helped elimination of multiple handling of cargo and madetransfers quick, cheap and easy. As containerization came to stand for 'cargo care', it grew by leaps and bounds the world over.

Indian Railway's strategic initiative to containerize cargo transport put India on the multi-modal map for the first time in 1966. Given the continental distances in India (almost 3000 km from North to South and East to West), railtransport could be the cheaper option for all cargo over medium and long distances, especially if the cost of inter-modal transfers could be reduced. Containerized multi-modal door-to door transport provided the ideal solution to this problem. It was this idea that saw the Indian Railways entering the market for moving door-to-door domestic cargo in special DSO containers starting in 1966.

Though the first ISO marine container had been handled in India at Cochin as early as 1973, it was in 1981 that the first ISO container was moved inland by the Indian Railways to India's first Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Bangaluru, also managed by the Indian Railways. Expansion of the network to 7 ICDs by 1988 saw increase in the handling of containers, and along the way, a strong view had emerged that there was a need to set up a separate pro-active organization for promoting and managing the growth of containerization in India.

Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR), was incorporated inMarch 1988under the Companies Act, and commenced operation fromNovember 1989 taking over the existing network of 7 ICDs from theIndian Railways.

From its humble beginning, it is now an undisputed market leader having the largest network of 61 ICDs/CFSs in India. In addition to providing inland transport by rail for containers, it hasalso expanded to cover management of Ports, air cargo complexes and establishing cold-chain. It has and will continue to play the role of promoting containerization of India by virtue of its modern rail wagon fleet, customer friendly commercial practices and extensively usedInformation Technology. The company developed multimodal logistics support for India’s International and Domestic containerization and trade. Though rail is the main stay of our transportation plan, road services and also provided to cater to the need of door-to-door services,whether in the International or Domestic business.

CONCOR is committed to providing responsive, cost effective, efficient and reliable logistics solution to itscustomers. It strives to be the first choice for its customers. CONCOR is a customer focused, performance driven, result oriented organization,focused on providing value formoney to its customers.
