With area more than double that of ICD-Sabarmati, it is the biggest such facility in the WI region
The Container Corporation of India's (CONCOR) inland container depot (ICD) at Khodiyar, Gandhinagar, is all set to commence operations from Tuesday (June 21). One of the biggest ICDs in the Indian Subcontinent and the biggest in western India, it will be inaugurated by Ms Lipika Majumdar Roy Choudhury, Chief Commissioner of Customs, Gujarat Zone.
ICD-Khodiyar, strategically located on the S.G. Highway, is a state-of-art ex-im facility spread over an area of 31.8 hectares, which will supersede the existing 12.8 hectares of ICD-Sabarmati.
ICD-Khodiyar has been planned to cater to the growing ex-im needs of the region and offers smooth operations under one roof. It includes 13,000 sq. m of state-of-art transit ex-im warehousing space. The facility has three full length rail lines for providing connections to major gateway ports like JNPCT, NSICT, GTIL, Pipavav and Mundra for exports and imports.
The ICD has been designed to handle more than 3 lakh TEUs per annum and will meet the ever-increasing 15-20 per cent annual demand for containerised traffic in the western hinterland.
