Allcargo Terminals Expands CFS Capacity Near JNPT to 3.6 Lakh TEUs Annually

Allcargo Terminals Ltd has expanded the handling capacity of its container freight station located near Jawaharlal Nehru Port in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

The enhancement raises annual capacity to 3.6 lakh TEUs, supporting higher cargo volumes and aligning with the company’s broader plan to strengthen logistics infrastructure and digital capabilities across India.

Details of the Capacity Expansion

The container freight station’s capacity has been increased from 1.90 lakh TEUs to 3.6 lakh TEUs per year. According to the company, the expansion is aimed at addressing rising cargo flows through Jawaharlal Nehru Port, one of India’s key gateways for export and import trade.

Alignment with Strategic Objectives

Allcargo Terminals stated that the expansion forms part of its three-year strategy focused on scale, digitisation, and infrastructure development across its national network. The move is intended to improve operational readiness as trade volumes continue to grow.

Infrastructure and Facility Enhancements

The upgraded facility includes a 25% increase in warehousing capacity, along with designated areas for special and over-dimensional cargo. The expanded yard is supported by RTG-enabled, tag-less operations, designed to improve cargo handling efficiency.

Role of Digital Solutions

Digital tools such as the MyCFS application and smart yard management systems have been integrated into operations. These systems are intended to enable paperless workflows, better visibility, and improved planning across the facility.

Broader Operational Footprint

In addition to the expanded CFS near JNPT, Allcargo Terminals operates another facility in the region through its wholly owned subsidiary, Speedy Multimodes. Overall, the company manages seven container freight stations and inland container depots across India.
